The interesting thing to me is that it's only 96% in the US. Worldwide it's closer to 78%, according to the linked article.

14% is worldwide, in the US it's roughly 50%

Quick googling suggests that it is 79% in the U.S..

garciasn | karma 1770 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2023-11-25 22:38:02

It’s roughly 30-40% world wide and latest stats in the US say between 25 and 35%.

I don’t know if people are overestimating but it sure as shit does surprise me each and every day.

I mean, it's not incorrect. In the developed world the percentage was reaching around 75-80%, but worldwide it was still <50% in 2015.

literallycancer | karma 804 | avg karma 0.84 · | 2021-01-13 13:06:54+00:00

It's much less than 40% outside the US.

zaphoyd | karma 869 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2015-09-23 23:26:44+00:00

that 7-8% is also worldwide, in the US it is 21% now

cdr | karma 1941 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2015-01-10 18:01:09

0.2% is a huge number, really. That's 615,000 in the US alone.

MAGZine | karma 2907 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2013-07-30 18:07:21+00:00

Closer to 30%, and even less in North America.

Izkata | karma 8171 | avg karma 1.58 · | 2021-09-17 23:59:46

That fits more with numbers I've seen from several countries (UK, Israel, and I think Germany).

I was referring to the US in my last comment, it's the only one I'd seen so far that was so skewed to >95%.

That must be it. It's almost always 70+ percent US.

goosedragons | karma 3339 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2024-01-25 14:24:32

Over 50% in some places like the U.S and Japan...

grecy | karma 23094 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2020-12-29 17:21:31

Everything you said it true, but why isn't it such a big percentage in other developed countries?

sien | karma 3977 | avg karma 4.1 · | 2013-12-06 05:04:01+00:00

In Australia it's pretty close to 100%

In much of Europe it's higher. In the US it's lower.

jostmey | karma 4294 | avg karma 3.37 · | 2020-03-26 12:43:29+00:00

That’s about 1% of the US population to put it in perspective

8n4vidtmkvmk | karma 1357 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2022-10-25 17:50:19

hasn't it been 9.5% in the US in the last year? i can believe 18 over 2 years

neoeldex | karma 131 | avg karma 1.35 · | 2015-12-09 04:04:05

Too bad it's only almost 1% of the total population.

jrsj | karma 1429 | avg karma 3.19 · | 2022-11-24 16:37:26

Probably less than half in the United States now sadly

oblio | karma 25694 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2021-08-23 13:42:47

Based on our current information, that's at best 33% of the population. Realistically in most countries it's about 15-20%.

Animats | karma 143047 | avg karma 6.11 · | 2024-02-01 01:10:55

The US has what, 10%, according to that.
