    Or consider this map as comparison. Acquiring a $200 passport to go on a $2,000 per person international trip is a splurge for the average American.

    edit: Utah is above average. Makes me wonder if the Mormon church international missionary program skews them significantly higher.

      Yes it’s the church; lots of missionaries go international. Most lds teens get the document ahead of their call. And more will vacation abroad if a parent has an international mission.
