What is the percent of people with rickets in US?

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "rickets is uncommon today in developed countries, including the United States, owing to the fortification of foods and the widespread use of vitamin D supplements". However, in children not drinking fortified milk, receiving breastmilk without giving extra vitamin D, or people with vitamin D malabsorption, rickets may still occur.
