Only statistic which I could find on short notice (literally first google result ...) but considering it's federal, I trust a small sample size more than random numbers from someone on the internet without quotation, especially if they are off by an order of magnitude from other countries.
The clue is: It looks like the numbers are reversed which would make a lot more sense.
