It's more densely populated because it has the highest concentration of habitable land.

Siberia to the north from there is not inhabited so densely because it has -50°C in the winter and +50°C in the summer.

Western Europe, US northeast, etc are also rather densely populated, but are smaller, with less-popuated areas, or with oceans.




I would love to know the region in Siberia in which there is +50 in the summer.


Oh, sorry, +50 is definitely a typo; +30. Say, Yakutsk is a major city in Siberia with a climate like that.
