Did you know over 1,000,000 people in the US have top secret clearance? That's a huge number!

Or it's ~0.3% of the population. That's a tiny number!

It really depends on context.

Did you know that about 0.3% of the US population has top secret clearance? That's a tiny number. But about 0.01% of the world population have US top secret clearance?

Woah, that's even tinier.
