While I'm sure the unvaccinated represent more, it's also true that many reporting stats considered double vaccinated to be in the unvaccinated category if they are eligible for a booster and haven't had them.

I don't know which sites you're seeing but the ones I use tend to break that out as “partially vaccinated” or “fully vaccinated” vs “fully vaccinated with booster” — which is good since the evidence has shown that there's a big difference between the waning protection against infection (i.e. neutralizing antibodies) versus protection against severe cases (i.e. T cells) even for partial vaccination.

https://covidactnow.org/ uses “at least one dose” for the national map but breaks out their state-level displays as “1+” and “fully vaccinated”.

Yup. I’ve seen similar gaming. Of the people who died in Singapore, 5/8th weren’t “fully vaccinated”, so they lump in the ones with one dose and those who haven’t met some predefined period of time post-2nd dose.
So 5% of the population represents 50% of ICU ventilator capacity.
