LOL NO.
Most of the systems are uninhabited and the amount you get depends totally on the type of body you scan. Population has nothing to do with it.
Exploration is about heading out into the mass of 4B stars and finding earth like planets, or certain types of stars.

Oh wait, nevermind, I get you now. Population means earth like etc etc. You threw me because in ED most people refer to exploring as going out into the empty black of systems where there are no stations for 100LY+ (you need a fuel scoop). People have racked up millions in cart data doing that. Yea you can make money scanning inhabited systems, but not sure if that is really "exploring."
Still, the majority of systems are unexplored/uninhabited so there is tons and tons of systems with $$$$$$ type discoveries.
