Sorry for being an absolute tool when it comes to reading these things, but I want to make sure I understand it right. Per capita means per 100k people? So in the case of the US it’s $12k in expenses total, for those 100k people?

Per capita is latin for per head; per person. The UK spent $12k per person.
