It is in their very nature to proselytize so no doubt when you first move into your neighborhood someone will know and you'll be a mark for a bit. Once you've established who you are and that you have another affiliation they will get over it. They really mean well, it's just the way it is especially here where the "mother church" is. It shouldn't effect your day to day life however so don't let that worry you.

I grew up in Idaho where there is also a large Mormon population. What it comes down to is they have good moral values and are really friendly people. I would imagine you would prefer your family to hang out with them rather than other shady characters. Its not only the Mormons who want to persuade you to join them its all religions. They are happy in what they believe so they naturally want to share it with everyone. This is the same if you find an excellent restaurant, you'll tell everyone you know about it.

I'm not Mormon, but am moving to SLC here shortly. I'm not worried at all about the high population of Mormons. It would be different if SLC had a white supremist group then I would say be worried.
