I'd guess a few factors in that
1 how far along the virus is in a place - obviously if you just had your first case your total deaths per 100k of your total population (which is what I assume that statistic is) is going to be less than a place where the virus has run its course (or half its course)
2 when the outbreak started in a place - the later it starts in your area, the more you know what to expect and do
3 age distribution
4 health of the people beforehand
5 healthcare systems
6 climate*
I'm going to guess that this is more 1, 2, and 3 than 4 and 5. 6 is a bit of a wildcard that probably pairs with 2.
For instance, had the outbreak hit Italy in June instead of March, do they fair better? With Texas, will it get much worse now that they are entering the don't leave the AC phase of their yearly weather cycle?
