Actually according to Department of State numbers there are about 60 million passports meaning that about 20% of Americans have passports. And I imagine that number would be much higher if going to Mexico or Canada required the possession of one. We can travel our whole continent without needing a passport. Until recently a German couldn't drive in a straight line for more than a few hours without needing one.
The 20% is similar to passport possession in Canada which is a bit closer to 25%.
