conceivable there are more people living in a high power
FM radiation area than a high power AM radiation.

Could happen in the odd case, but not usually. FM broadcast transmit
antennas located on building tops normally have radiation center heights
that easily clear the tops of nearby buildings. If they didn't, the
station's signal would be affected by shadowing (blockage) beyond the nearby
buildings, and have widespread multipath problems from reflections off the
building sides. Competitive issues make this situation unlikely.
