Physical length of the wall doesn't really answer much though either. Hundreds of mile of wall could have been put up over intense mountain terrain, with 5 mile patches left wide open in So Cal and Texas where you'd still have most of the percentage as before pouring in. I imagine the areas that the wall was able to be put up without much struggle or pushback weren't the areas that needed it the most.
But again, this all seems like it should be researchable. I don't think verifiable progress reports on wall construction are considered a state secret.
For what it's worth, the government border people have a map showing pre-existing walls and newly-built walls.

I suppose that's fair.

I'm not a geographer or anything so I can't really tell how much of those huge gaps in the wall are considered impassable due to terrain.
Look at roads and waterways near the border.
