Yeah, I think having it as an option is the way to go. Though I’d personally have it default to per-capita, as I do think that correlates closer with actual risk. To illustrate with an extreme example, an area with 10 burglaries per 100 people is clearly a way higher burglary risk place to live than an area with 20 burglaries per 10,000 people.
