you're basically just defining the mean here, this misses the point that cities are more efficient, making their mean consumption per capital lower

No, I'm not.
The environmental impact of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Los Angeles, California, will differ significantly, even if they have similar populations and technology levels. When it comes to meat consumption alone, citizens of Addis Ababa consume approximately 5-10 kg per year, while in the USA, it's about 125 kg per year.
The difference in consumption, or affluence, is the critical parameter here.
