What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?

That's what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It's basic math.

But usually, you have total numbers per 100k and that's the percents. % is parts of hundred, no matter what.

Yes, there just shouldn't be a percentage sign. It's not a percentage. The value is probably around 5 something per 100k.
