This way shows where the biggest impact can be made. If you’re deciding where to spend money to address the issue, your money is better spent in the top four no matter what the per capita numbers are.

Both numbers are valuable, but the visualization is bad. Per capita is very nearly not visualized at all.

That's not true.

It totally depends on the problem and the solution. If there is no economy of scale at force for the solution, it won't make a difference.

It depends how you spend your money but it probably goes further if there's less people. Your money's better spent where the ratio of waste to people is highest.
