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.
As soon as you get to the “per 100” part you can stop. After that, it doesn’t matter if it’s per 100,000, per 8,759,016, or per 10.
So the fact that they mixed up something so basic makes you question the number entirely. Their point is valid, but undermined by their lack of basic math skills.
% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it’s undermined somewhat by the fact they’ve clearly fucked up something.
Eh, the population difference is less than one order of magnitude and the difference in homelessness is two orders of magnitude.

Literally 5.7 per 100 per 100,000.
