Just wondering, how many VFR only pilots have and USE a night rating?

Well, the night rating comes as part of the PPC in the U.S.. I used to fly a
lot at night until I got married. Not lately, though. I don't hesitate to make
a night flight if necessary - the last one I made was returning from AOPA expo
back in October. I don't carry passengers, though, since I don't fly enough at
night to allow it under the U.S. regulations.

Flying VFR at night in the New York - Washington area is pretty easy, though.
It can get pretty nervous once you get away from the lights.
