Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that land value increases with population growth?

Partly. Several sources state that land values tend to rise with population growth, though usually as one factor among several rather than a general law. One older source disputes that land prices rise in exact proportion to population, so the evidence supports only a partial, qualified version of the claim.
