incidence per 100,000 people in the US has doubled in the past 25 years.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. The graphs show the number of cases total. Not cases adjusted for population growth. There is a table showing population adjusted data for 2005 to 2015. The last row is for the whole US. No real change in 10 years. Same for NC.
