There’s really no way to know this from the outside. It probably depends on a variety of factors. From the website:

Eligible candidates must apply and be accepted into the full-time MPH program at the Bloomberg School of Public Health… MPH/JD applicants need not have fulfilled the standard MPH requirement of either an advanced degree or two years of health-related work experience at the time of admission to Johns Hopkins. All other MPH admission prerequisites, such as college-level math and biological science coursework, must be completed.

On face, it’s ‘easier’ in the sense that you don’t need to have an advanced degree already or work experience before applying to the program - since the concurrent JD is that advanced degree, only in progress. But even though those aren’t required, JHU will probably still want some evidence that you are really interested in a public health career and will be looking for those things.

Also, just because it’s less common doesn’t mean it offers an improved rate - they may only get a small number of applications but may also accept only a very small number of people to that specific program.
