I hope you mean 1 in 5 _classed and levelled_ elves.

IMC, the figures are something like this:
1 out of 100 humans are blooded. 1 out of 100 nobles becomes a mage
(that's 1 out of 10,000 humans - matches well with the "eight dozen or
so" true mages that are supposed to live in Anuire).
1 out of 10 nobles becomes a magician. It's far easier to be a magician
than a mage IMC.
1 out of 1,000 commoners becomes a magician.

Among elves, 1 in 100 becomes a magician, and 1 out of 10 magicians
become mages. That's around 10 times the concentration of magic that
humans have, and maybe it's on the generous side. The BR book states
that mages are fairly rare even among elves.

As for priests, approximately 1 in 500 becomes a spellcasting priest.
