This one’s not just a population density map in disguise, is it?

No, it's per capita.

if only the OP could read

Still, big cities seem to have a lower rate so I wonder if there's something about the methodology that depends on population density

big cities are generally better to live in (at least in the USA) since there are more amenities there and people can actually get to them reliably without a car.

Definitely more resources in a number of ways (healthcare, social programs, etc.), Possibly more community depending upon how rural an area you're comparing to (and possibly how long that and surrounding families have been there).
