rates are higher then us vs these rates are even higher than us

The two phrases are not directly comparable as they have different meanings. The first phrase seems to compare rates to a group of people, which is not a common or correct comparison in English. The second phrase correctly compares rates to a specific entity ('these rates') using the comparative form 'higher than.'

rates are higher then us

This phrase is not correct in English. Rates are not compared to people using 'than.'

To compare rates, you should use 'than' with another rate or entity, not with 'us' or any other pronoun.
  • Now, all of Winnipeg's city-wide rates are higher then US averages... These stats are from 2012 rates; of 738 settlements in the USA with ...

these rates are even higher than us

This phrase is correct in English as it compares rates to the pronoun 'us' using the comparative form 'higher than.'

When comparing rates or any other entities, use 'than' to introduce the entity being compared to, as in 'higher than us.'
