Yes, plenty, especially in urban areas. However, you are far more likely to find people who don't have cars than you are to find people who don't have a driver's license. It is pretty easy to get a license and for many people it is their primary form of identification. Besides, even if you don't own a car, many people will still have occasional need to rent a car or truck.
There are probably millions of adult Americans who don't have a driver's license. Some don't due to where they live - in Manhattan it might be more practical to use the mass transit instead of buying a vehicle and then paying for insurance and for parking. Some don't due to either religious or cultural issues.
And some have had their license suspended for so long they will never get it back. Some have medical/psychological issues that reclude their driving (epilepsy for one).

I know MANY young and elderly w/o driver's license.
While I love to drive (3,500 miles in the last 6 days (Moving truck, not under cdl regs ), I can appreciate those who DON'T (& I wish a few of the current whackos would consider NOT driving.).
The term Commercial Drivers License (CDL) was born with the passage of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986. The deadline to get your CDL was 12-31-91.
Prior to that, each State did their own thing....here in Virginia, they called them Chauffeurs Licenses.
