Though I would note that the Amarr+Khanid numbers need the Ammatar added for full comparison.

The harsh conditions of Caldari Prime brought about the way of life that made the Caldari unique.  I think those customs translate very well to life in the closed-confines of space-based living. 

So all things being equal, the Caldari should have the better space-based empire.

I always chalked up the reason there were more Caldari stations in space on a few reasons.

1.) Most technologically advanced race

2.)  Nature of the State:  You think one Mega corp is going to let another Mega dock without trading fees?  Hell no!  And until recently there wasnt any central government to make them do so.  Thus, lots of redundant stations as the Mega's jockeyed for position.

3.)  Heres the big one.  They were kicked out of their prime systems as they fled the Gallente.  Good worlds would likely be rare, and the Forge (for instance) is known for lots of Plasma worlds, good for industry but bad for actually living on. 

Basically, the Caldari were a group of refugees running from a Civil war they lost and were forced to colonize where ever they could.  That meant lots of stations, especially early on, and that likely stayed with their culture.
