Hi

I’m sure this is simple for somebody,

If I have an electorate of 6.278 people and 260 crimes are committed how do I work out the crime ratio per head of electorate

Thanks in anticipation

Divide the number of crimes by the number of people.

If there were 10 crimes and 1 person, there would be 10 crimes/person, as there would be with 100 crimes and 10 people.

So you have 260/6278 crimes per person.

So you have 260/6278 crimes per person.

Which you can express as 0.041 crimes per person, or roughly one twentyfourth (1/24) crime per person.
