I want to see the Netherlands and US numbers

Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

People who don't need a car and already don't have one won't appear in these figures

If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn't need a car doesn't have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.

I'm actually surprised by both country's stats.

Me too, but it's the percentage of those who currently own a car. I guess, in NL the percentage of people who own a car is less than e.g. in Germany.
I'm also surprised that the share in the US is quite high.
