Happy Valley (Utah County)

• About 88% of Utah County residents are Latter-day Saints http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0%2C1249%2C455030805%2C00.html; members of that faith are known for their typically calm and non-confrontational nature.
• LDS-owned BYU is located in Provo, Utah, and is generally a well-regarded university, ranked high in many categories by the Princeton Review.
• Utah County has rather low levels of crime and drug abuse http://www.unitedwayuc.org/your_community/communityassess/06-Crime_and_Substance_Abuse_Statistics.pdf, when compared to other areas in Utah, and rather low rates of poverty and unemployment http://www.unitedwayuc.org/your_community/communityassess/03-Employment_and_Poverty_Statistics.pdf.
• Utah County's scenery is generally considered pleasant or attractive, and allows for significant outdoor activities: hiking, skiing, fishing and so on.

• Some studies and antecdotal evidence suggest Utah County residents have higher than average use of anti-depressant medications, especially Prozac http://www.augustachronicle.com/stories/062401/tec_124-4635.shtml, http://www.exmormon.org/mormon/mormon197.htm Note that other researchers have questioned the accuracy of such reports. http://familycenter.byu.edu/columns.aspx?id=63
• The large number of Latter-day Saints — arguably the highest concentration of the faith in the world — has led some Utah County residents to charge that some Latter-day Saints practice overt or tacit religious discrimination against non-LDS individuals, against persons who have chosen to no longer practice the LDS faith, or against critics of the LDS church. http://www.exmormon.org/larson1.htm
