"per capita" is used all the time to recognize the level of football talent here in Louisiana and Mississippi based on their producing more NFL talent per capita than the more populous states like California, Texas,etc.

The Olympic committee only allows a certain number of athletes in each country to compete in a specific event.
Nobody is limiting the number of football players from a big state like Texas from competing, for example.
