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.

    Exactly, the post is meaningless. Unless anyone believes there are fewer than 3000 homeless people in Japan lol.

    That "study" has been ridiculed because they only checked for people living in certain places like public parks. Other estimates run anywhere from 10k to over 100k.

    Yes, google how many homeless people in Japan.

    edit: excuse me but why the douchevotes? That's exactly what I did. Do I have to redo it and copypaste a link to the result because somebody doesn't feel like typing in the search themselves? Wow.
