Wold wide between 15 and 20% of men are circumcised most of these for religious and right of passage reasons.

The vast majority of men in the world are intact. In most of the world circumcision is extremely rarely practiced. For example in most of Europe, South America, Central America, Africa, and Asia, probably 98 out of 100 men would be intact. In some countries a small minority of the population is circumcised. For example in places like Canada and Australia, around 10% of newborn babies are circumcised.

Circumcision is very common in Israel, where there is a large Jewish population. Circumcision is also practiced among some, but not all, Muslims.

In the United States 25 years ago, the vast majority of men were circumcised, but today a minority of infants are circumcised. Circumcision rates have been falling in the United States since the 1970s. In the 1980s, over 80% of newborn male infants were circumcised. According to data released by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only 32.5% of male infants born in the United States were circumcised. This means, that of boys born today in the United States, far more are uncircumcised than circumcised.

Circumcision rates vary widely by region in the United States. In the western United States, circumcision is far less common than the 32.5% national average.

The percentage of genitally intact (non circumcised) males in the United States varies widely by age. Circumcision became very common in the U.S. during the mid 17th century. However in the past 20 years the number of newborn males being circumcised has dropped from over 80% to under 40%.

Among American men age 20 or older, probably fewer than 25% are genitally intact However

among American men under age 20, probably more than 60% are are genitally intact.

It's hard to say, but circumcision is most common in the United States and Israel.
