Which is still low for their population...... The US has 25,000 a year
Do you have a link for that? Best info I can get says incidence is between 2-12 cases/10,000 births for the US, which would give me a different number than you. Rather than extrapolating a figure I would like to find actual 2014/2015 statistics.

Microcephaly affects 2 - 2 1/2% of the entire
population. Microcephaly is COMMON - it is far more
common than other well known disorders (i.e.
Autism). Microcephaly affects more than 25,000
infants in the United States each year.

Microcephaly is common, affecting more than 25,000 infants in the United States each year. If it is not present at birth, it usually has developed by the time a child is two years old. While microcephaly is not a disease, it is an important sign that may point to other conditions.

Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly

In a broad sense, projected life expectancy for patients affected with microcephaly is lessened, and the prediction of regular brain development is far less. The condition is comparatively uncommon, affecting about 25,000 kids in the United States every year.
