I have a 5th grade math level. I cannot do more than basic math. but I'm too curious to let this go.
If the inner surface of a Dyson Shell, the area you live on, is exactly 1AU from the star, how much habitable space is there?
Bonus: How many people could feasibly live in that space?
EDIT: Assume Sol for the star the Shell is built around.
 how much habitable space is there?
More than on every habitable planet in the galaxy. The numbers get effectively meaningless. Your civilization is so big that every galactic civilization ever put to paper could fit on it.
Spheres are weird. Big spheres are weirder.
