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.
