Per Capita is the great leveler used to ACCURATELY compare entities of different sizes such as population differences and murder RATES. Satter is correct and your are laughably, ignominiously, f'ing wrong.

There are few things funnier than the certitude of the ill-informed. Thanks for the 💩's and 🤭's.

It is often used as an apples-to-apples comparison between countries with different population sizes.

That would be apples to f'ing apples comparisons between STATES as well you undereducated f'ing loon.

What Is Per Capita?

Per capita is a Latin term that translates to "by head." Per capita means the average per person and is often used in place of "per person" in statistical observances. The phrase can be used for almost any kind of population description but is common when discussing economic data. This could include a country's:

Gross domestic product (GDP)
Gross national product (GNP)
Income

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Per capita is a term used in economic and statistical analysis that means per person.
Per capita is used when comparing a certain economic metric to a population.
The most common instances of per capita are gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and income per capita.
Per capita information provides more granular data than just aggregate information. It is often used as an apples-to-apples comparison between countries with different population sizes.
Per capita information is often contrasted with median information, which provides a clearer picture as it considers outliers.


The Bottom Line

Per capita is a way of averaging values on a per-person basis to better understand how each individual shares in aggregated figures. In economics, GDP and income per capita are used to understand a country's average level of prosperity and for making like comparisons across countries. You can also use per capita measures of non-economic data, such as alcohol consumption per capita or car crashes per capita.


OR murders per capita, you dumb 💩. You were so certain that you were right you didn't bother to check why such a claim could be made. Counterintuitive to most intelligent people means 'wait, that's not what I would think. Is it possible I'm wrong?' The synapses in what passes for the Trumpanzee brain just don't fire like that, now do they?
