Is population density an indicator of over population or under population?

Population density is just a measure. Whether it represents over or under population depends on putting that information together with a lot of other information. Temperature measures heat; high temperature indicates fever.
Also, while population density is objective, overpopulation can be highly subjective, depending on the variables you take into account. whether a place is overpopulated or underpopulated depends on both population and available resources. thus it is important to define what 'resources' are, and while population density may have some relationship with this, this is not reliable enough to be used as an 'indicator'.
