Pew says 56% of US adults have passports. And 27% of people have never left the country. Neither of these seems particularly shocking. Plenty of Brits travelling consists of drinking holidays to Shagaluf. The US is big and Americans could do the equivalent in Daytona Beach or South Padre without need for passport. And I imagine there are loads of people in say Puglia who have never left southern Italy.
