Look at race of those men.
My wife worked at a urology practice that did vasectomies and she said black men rarely agree to it and most found the idea of it to be an absolute non-starter.
Its a cultural thing I think.

Oh yeah, for sure. Not arguing its a low number, just thought it was really interesting.
You also need to take into account that vasectomies in younger generations are more common because the procedure has gotten way easier and less invasive through the years.
Far lower % of the older tier boomers have them than say, 40-50 year olds.
And then you look at socio-economic levels. Poor people and less-educated people, whom you probably don't associate much with, are far less likely to do it. Which is probably why it seems like a higher % of men do get them done to us.
At my wife's old job, they had 25% off "sales" for vasectomies during March Madness and The Masters so men could do it and be on the couch watching sports for 2 days. Always thought this was brilliant
