* A great [[state]] to live in if you are a [[LDS]] ([[Mormon]]) church member.
* On average [[Utah]] has the best [[prepared]] [[families]] in [[America]]. (By church doctrine, one year of [[food storage]] is considered mandatory.) That is commendable.
* The norm for [[home construction]] in the state is to include an extra large [[pantry]] to accommodate [[storage food]]. (Commonly called a “[[fruit]] room” in [[LDS]] parlance.)
* Nearly every LDS ward has its own food storage [[cannery]].
* Fairly low [[crime rate]]. (Utah has two of the safest metropolitan areas in the country: Orem, ranked #7, and Provo, ranked #9.)
* The only significant street [[crime]] is on the West side of Salt Lake City.
* Low [[car insurance rate]]s.
===Minuses===
* [[Ground water]] is scarce in parts of the [[state]], so check on [[well water]] before buying.
* [[Utah]] might be a poor [[retreat]]/[[relocation]] choice if you are not a [[LDS church]] member. Non-[[LDS]] members of any religious persuasion are derisively called "gentiles." If you are not [[LDS]], you might be ignored or perhaps even seen as conveniently expendable when push comes to shove. In practice, many LDS families do not have a true full year of [[storage food]].
* Highly regulated [[home schooling]].
[[JWR]]’s Combined [[Retreat]] Potential Ranking: 6 of 19.
