Why?

They aren't the same size.

2002 CR-V Brakes
 

Can someone enlighten me as to why the rear disc brakes are worn out but
the front are at 50% ? I tho't the fronts would wear down first.

I know what you're thinking, I thought the same way, when my Accord's rear
pads had to be replaced with only 89,000 km on them. I managed to get
113,800 km on the front pads, before having to replace them.

Better answer than most I've seen in the newsgroups. Certainly agrees with
my 90 Prelude experience. I replaced my rear pads at 105Kmiles (and no they
were not completely worn down) while the fronts still had over 50% left when
I sold the car at 130Kmiles.

Disc brakes (rear) on a 2002, didn't know that thought they were still
shoes.
