Elves
So where do most elves live in pfrpg?

Their wariness was as that of one crossing a river in winter;
Their caution was as that of one in fear of all around;
Their gravity was as that of a guest
Their relaxation was as that of ice at the melting point

Re: Elves
The Land of the Damned has the biggest canon concentration of elves to date. The Kingdom of Therendil (Land of the Damned 2: Eternal Torment) in the Darkest Heart region. It's the small sword-in-stone icon on my Land of the Damned map. About 120,000 elves live there within their walled city/palace.
Their story is one of the greatest tragedies of the Land of the Damned: they are a people who have lost their way. Bereft of the hopes and dreams of the original garrison, they have long since given up on the world outside their walls.
Otherwise, elf populations tend to be blended into human populations. The Western Empire has many elves, though they're a minority. A few citadels remain in the Old Kingdom, though they're generally not nice places. I believe that Phi also has a large elf population. I'm not sure about Lopan.

Re: Elves
Elves are in Lopan, Phi, Eastern Territory (where they have some large communities), and
scattered about through the rest of the world.

Re: Elves
See, I've long pictured the Old Kingdom as being almost entirely overrun with the monster races... few outposts of men, dwarves, or elves.

I've always viewed it the same. Just from the limited info given in the books I've always pictured the largest concentration to be in the Western Empire.

I have the occasional foray into the old kingdom for men but they get eaten
and most people forget that numerically the western empire has a huge population, Caer Itom Alone has close to 2 million beings living there.

There is also a handful (at most) of elven cities in the old kingdom.

Re: Elves
Monster and Animals page 18
Elves 16% of population of Eastern Territory
11% of population of Timiro
As for the rest of the world they are in Other category, which includes Western Empire.

Re: Elves
But if you count the numbers in the other books caer itom itself(170k) beats em easily oddly enough, even the city in the lotd has only about 120-130k elves whereas the eastern territories has about 65000 all told in its cities combined and it averages around 3%-4% elves in those cities, and I would assume that the books about particular locations would be the ones you go to for these details, rather then monsters and animals ?

Re: Elves
The Monster and Animal 2nd edition reference (page 18) existed way back in the 1st
edition rules. The second edition books have given the world a much larger population
overall, but Elves seem to be less frequent in number. As in my own experience, Bill
probably didn't take the population reference into consideration when writing Western
and Kevin went along with it (as is his divine right). I'm certain in newer books we
may see this topic get explored some more.
