Maybe Denver, though the "social consciousness" level isn't all that high here.

It ranked only based on the categories it mentions, which are things that are undoubtedly trendy currently. A big reason it ranked high is because SLC has a lot of vegan restaurants for its size, it has 11 compared to Denver’s 9 and Boise’s 1 for example.
I always find Denver to be far less interesting and "hip" than it is purported to be, so I can't imagine Salt Lake to be so much worse.

SLC is about 50% LDS (Mormon). You find varying opinions on how insular the LDS community is WRT others. Some say it's awful, some say not so much.

No. The Gen-Z years start in 1996. The oldest are out of college if they went to college.

yeah the USA is below replacement and that's WITH immigrants. I don't think you checked the native born population rates.

A recent poll showed that the city itself is about 25% Mormon and the majority of residents consider themselves as liberal, so it’s definitely different than the rest of state. I don’t like the suburbs of SLC at all but I love the city.

Obamas? Rich people with families? Pick any part of coastal California. About half of the homes in my hood have kids and in areas with Latinos the families are large.

And they are still only barely starting to have kids. "Young families" are millennial families.

Before I read through this thread, I picked my area, suburban NJ. But people here aren't pumping out children. Young millennial families have 1-2 children on average, if they have any, especially in the trendy areas.
