2026年現在、米国居住者の48.6%以上が有効なパスポートを所持しており、流通している有効なパスポートブックおよびカードは合計1億6,200万冊を超えています。これは、連邦政府による国境管理要件や国際航空路線の拡大を背景に、わずか4%のアメリカ人しか国際渡航証明書を持っていなかった1990年から歴史的な拡大を遂げたことを示しています。以下の数値は、U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs、National Travel and Tourism Office（NTTO）、U.S. Census Bureau、およびTransportation Security Administration（TSA）によるものです。

1. Longitudinal Growth: From 4% to Nearly Half the Population
カナダ、メキシコ、カリブ海地域から空路で米国に再入国する際にパスポートの提示を義務付けた2007年の西半球渡航イニシアチブ（WHTI）以降、パスポートの取得が加速しました。こうした渡航パターンは、travel influencer statisticsで考察されているトレンドとも一致しています。
| Calendar Year | Total Passports in Circulation | US Population Share | Annual Issuance Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990 | 7.2 Million | 4.1% | 3.3 Million |
| 2000 | 18.5 Million | 6.6% | 7.3 Million |
| 2007 (Pre-WHTI Mandate) | 78.4 Million | 27.1% | 18.3 Million |
| 2015 | 125.9 Million | 39.2% | 15.5 Million |

2. State-by-State Adoption Rankings and Regional Disparities
パスポートの所持率は、沿岸部の地理、国際貿易拠点、世帯所得の中央値と強い相関関係があります。これらの地理的差異は、remote work statisticsで追跡されているモバイルキャリアの動向とも連動しています。

3. Socioeconomic and Demographic Correlates of Passport Holding
パスポート保有率の格差は、根底にある学歴や世帯の可処分所得を反映しており、international students statisticsで分析された指標とも重なり合っています。
