Question re Custom Culture's Ethnicities

I designed a custom culture in my current playthrough. Basically, a Maghrebi family wound up taking over Taiwan. The new culture blends Amis and Maghrebi customs. However, logically, the dominant ethnicity should be Austronesian since they're the majority of the actual population. Thus, I wanted to edit the data in my save file to reflect that. I think I found the relevant bit of code, but I want to be sure I'm interpreting it correctly before I mess with it.

ethnicities={ 91=arab 9=african 83=asian_austronesian 17=asian_han_chinese }

It looks like they add up to 200. Are they the odds of a newly-generated character having a particular appearance? For example, since it's 91 for Arab, I presume a newly-generated character would have 91/200 odds of looking Arab?

I'm in the process of designing a custom city, and one thing I want to do is design a custom university. I know there's a door/rug mod for University rabbit holes somewhere, so it's not a necessity for lots to be big enough for the vanilla rabbit holes. The city's in a valley surrounded by mountains, so I want the university to feel close even if it's not in the city proper. Sims University is also way too spread out for my preferences, so I'm hoping to find a neighborhood where I can keep the dorms, homes, and rabbit holes pretty close together (walking distance, ideally). Climate's supposed to be fairly cold, too. Do you know of any existing custom worlds that have all those traits?
