What's with the high amount of salvage cars? Do these cars incur high damage easily?

You sort of explained it yourself. These cars are inexpensive to start with (comparatively speaking) and get cheaper every passing year. When a sub $10K car get's damaged it is often cheaper for insurance to just write it off than it is to fix it. With prices of such things as airbags being high enough to push the costs of repair for even a relatively minor accident over the 75% value mark you will see more written off than a $50K BMW or such.
Oh and...
What Dake said applies as well.
