    Eh, the population difference is less than one order of magnitude and the difference in homelessness is two orders of magnitude.

      It’s not about that, it’s about “% per 100k” making no sense as a unit. It’s either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you’ve clearly messed something up and don’t quite understand what you’re actually talking about.
