I always wondered if the population couldn’t be defined as infinite. If the number of uninhabited worlds is finite, then the same mathematical trick would tell you the percent uninhabited is zero. Therefore, since infinity minus zero is infinity, then there are an infinite number of inhabited worlds. Some number of beings on each of those times an infinite number of worlds would yield an infinite population.

Only if there is an infinite number of worlds to begin with.
