If you take into account that it's not evenly distributed, the news gets both better and worse. A fairly small university town could have enough faculty-spawn to have a decent sized sub-set who are HG. Ditto for other magnet places like Silicon Valley. But that means that medium sized towns that lack such attractors may be even worse off in terms of percentages.
