That's maybe like 2-3% of the worlds population.
We really need some numbers here; I am guessing this is a tiny percent of the population.

Wikipedia says they're 14% of US population - I'm not sure how the age distribution is, but that's plenty high enough to show a problem.
That’s about 1% of the US population to put it in perspective
It is actually about 1.6% of the population
Less than 1% globally, so you're right.
Actually around 17% of the human population.
If your figure is correct that's only 2% of the population.
