The only Mormon that I know reasonably well has five kids, so they're at least doing their part.
The main thing I've noticed among my peer group is that the more "career-oriented" you are, the fewer kids you're going to have. For those people it seems to come down to a decision that the expenses of kids outweigh any benefits.
Whereas the less well off people I know tend to have larger families because you're never going to have enough extra money for it to matter anyway, so why not have more kids and enjoy them.
