Yes - if you have 5M$ in the bank, you'll have 250k$ of that insured. Not that comforting.

  But if you put in $250k because you're responsibly splitting things across banks, and the interest you've made on it raised you to $252k, you're counted amongst the 97.3% and it's not a big deal. I'm sure some people are out meaningful amounts of money, but I'm not sure what a typical account looks like.

    It's 97.3% of deposits ($), not _depositors_

      Hm, you may be right, though "deposits are less than" is a really weird way to phrase it in that case.
