The most common and grammatically correct word to complete "There aren't ____ people here" is many, as "people" is a plural countable noun, but a lot (or lots of) also works, especially informally, while "much" is incorrect. The sentence usually expresses a lack of expected numbers, so many or that many are best.
There aren’t ____ people here
