Which taxpayers are currently making use of the mortgage interest deduction?

I ask this, because an article written by Scott Burns (writer for Dallas News), believes that very few people can take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction.
I know that we are able to make use of the deduction, because of 2 things: Mortgage interest is under the standard deduction by a little more than $1,000/yr. This is even on a short term (15 year) mortgage. However, our property taxes are relatively high (slightly over $8k), which is just about 2.3% of the appraised value of our house. So, between the 2, we are easily able to make use of the mortgage interest deduction.
So, who else is able to use the deduction?
