You really have to understand that Soviet fought on it's own soil, US didn't. US civilians were safe and sound thousands of miles away from any major fight, if you don't count Pearl Harbour. That makes a great difference in casualty rates, especially civilian casualty rates.
If USA would have been bombed, starved and terrorized, the numbers would be very different.
