Thankfully, there's up to 330 million of 'em! The June data for the US carriers at DUB shows an almost identical split between US and non-US citizens as above for EDI. (Numbers below relate just to passengers carried by US-flagged carriers and so exclude, for example, EI and ET):
- ATL: 19,732 87%/13% (daily DL A359)
- BOS: 12,768 82%/18% (daily DL 763)
- JFK: 11,997 76%/24% (daily DL 763)
- EWR: 25,080 73%/27% (daily UA 777 and 757)
- IAD: 12,002 80%/20% (daily UA 764)

% US citizens / non-US citizens for June for MAN (all carriers):
- ATL: 51%/49% (markedly more non-US than DUB or EDI)
- IAH: 65%/35%
- JFK: 75%/25% (similar to DUB and EDI)
- MCO: 85%/15% (similar to EDI)

ATL's currently on sale from 23rd May next year, which is around the same time it started this year. Given they chopped JFK for most of January to March next year, I can't see them attempting a year-round ATL (would be great if I was wrong) but I wonder if they may start it earlier.
