Well, you will find that in general, altitude and population are inversely proportional. You will also discover heavy population densities where there is a sudden drop in altitude such as at the base of mountains.
Hope this helps!

Didn't you just answer your own question?
Mountainous terrains tend not to be arable. People can't farm = less settled. Also, mountainous areas are irregular, barring the establishment of cities and whatnot, since buildings need flat land, especially manufacturing complexes and the like.
