    According to this, per 10,000 people:

    • Japan: 0.2
    • US: 19.5

        Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.

          Ya might be a good point but it’s a distracting mess

          Thankfully we already know a little bit about both of our situations so we get the gist

          US population: ~350M Japan population: ~125M

          Not even 3x as much.

            You’re not wrong. I’m just saying, if you want to make that point, you should compare per capita.

      .2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?

      I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.

        0.2 people, not percentage. That was what they were trying to straighten out because percent per 100k doesn’t make sense.
