I don't think density necessarily correlates with a standard of living. Unless you are assuming that a smaller floorspace automatically equates to lower incomes.

I suspect the correlation is strong, although I've not seen any studies on the subject.  A smaller floorspace can be, but is not necessarily, a reflection of lower income.   That said, it seems a safe bet to think that someone living in 4,000 sq ft is likely to have a higher income than someone living in 1,000 sq ft, all other things being equal.

That is how it works in our society, and it's somewhat unfortunate, though it's true that I have more sqft than I know what to do with, really (but previously I had less sqft than I would have liked). Also: cars SUVs.
