Because LA's millions are spread out over an area the size of some Eastern states. Inside of Greater LA are several Richmond Virginia sized cities-within a city that are 100% 3rd world, with amazing crime rates, and yes, race war, where blacks are shot on sight by invading latinos.
Per capita statics do not go by size. They are calculated per 100,000 people. It's the only accurate way to do it.
For example, in Indianapolis Indiana, for every 100,000 people there are 17.5 murders. In LA, Cal for every 100,000 people there are only 12.4 murders. That is a significant difference.

Again, I am referring to the City of Los Angeles. The size of the city boundary is not the issue. Per capita is calculated by per 100,000 within specific city limits.
The term "Greater" Los Angeles means little. Los Angeles City limits are clearly defined on the map, like all other cities.
