https://www.forbes.com/sites/lealane/2019/05/02/percentage-of-americans-who-never-traveled-beyond-the-state-where-they-were-born-a-surprise/ mentions a survey based on 2000 American citizens. Main findings:

  • Eleven percent of survey respondents have never traveled outside of the state where they were born.
  • Over half of those surveyed (54 percent) say they’ve visited 10 states or fewer.
  • As many as 13 percent say they have never flown in an airplane.
  • Forty percent of those questioned said they’ve never left the country.
  • Over half of respondents have never owned a passport. (For years U.S. citizens did not need one to travel to Mexico, Canada and on many cruises, which may clarify the previous stat.)
