Why in gods name does everyone need a passport? We have large percentages of our population who will never leave their state let alone the country. Waste of money, especially considering how expensive they are

You never know when you might need to leave the country. Having a passport at least gives you the option to leave if you need to.
Does this include passport cards or just full passports? Passport cards can be used for Canada and Mexico but few other foreign countries so states on the border will have higher % if they're included.
One state that really jumped out at me was South Carolina. There's been a huge increase in passports issued in South Carolina since 2010, and I'm not sure why. I know there's a growing cluster of international businesses in upstate South Carolina (mainly related to the automotive industry), but that alone can't explain it. Relative to its population, South Carolina has a higher percentage of passports issued than Georgia, and a much higher percentage of passports issued than North Carolina, which itself was surprisingly low on the list.
Yes, my home state surprised me as well. I think the amount of retirees with a lot of disposable income that are settling in the state is the primary driver here.

Is that why Charleston is growing as fast as it is?
