This is questionable. Highly populous countries have worse living conditions than moderately populous ones, currently.

There does not look to be a strong correlation between population density and income, at least on a log-log scale across countries. But I would guess that these numbers hide a trend for cities to be richer than rural areas (subsistence farming etc).
