5% of Americans own a car but not a drivers licence.
household income over $X per what period of time?
I somehow don't find it very plausible that there are many people who believe that 21% of people are transgender, or even 30% gay or lesbian. But I too would have overestimated the number of atheists.
3% Gay seems very low though. I really think that number is wrong.

Just like their IQ.
My 3 year old has a college degree? Dang! No wonder I can't understand half the shit he says.
I'm kind of blown away that 88% of Americans have flown on an airplane. If everyone is so broke, how are they affording to fly? And people just don't care about the environmental impact? I've never flown, and I can't imagine I ever will.
