If the single largest asteroid (Ceres) were to be used to build orbital space settlements, the total living area created would be well over 100x the land area of the Earth. This is because Ceres is a solid, 3 dimensional object but orbital space settlements are basically hollow with only air on the inside. Thus, Ceres alone can provide the building materials for uncrowded homes for 100s of billions of people, at least.
