NYC is about 2.2% of the population and they don't all need keys. From
what I knew living in Philly and now in New England, This huge region
has very few locked boxes. I'd guess less that 15% of the population
needs a key.

Wager? Nah, I'd have to do more research, but I'd wager it is far less
than 50%
