Why "per 10K residents" and not the percentage of people 85+ with a licence?

Well, those show two (slightly) different things. Per 10k residents is indeed reflective of the percentages 85+ people have licenses, but it's also reflective of how many 85+ people there are in the state, since different states have different age distributions.

Yes, that is my point. Both the number of people aged 85+ and the percentage of those people with a licence are potentially relevant numbers, but mixing them into a composite measure just obfuscates the picture.
