this is an interesting statistic. I'd love to have a reference!

  Seems there are some stats running around about the number of US citizens who hold passports. https://www.statista.com/statistics/804430/us-citzens-owning-a-passport/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/804430/us-citzens-owning...

    Even assuming that includes passport cards for Canada/Mexico, unless someone lives near the border, an international trip is a relatively big deal for a lot of families. The US is big and has a lot of variety for travel. It's really not surprising that a (sizable) minority don't have near-term plans to travel internationally.

      Absolutely agree. The socio-economic breakdown of the research backs this up. It's very strongly correlated with household income
