[Star Wars] How rich is Coruscant?

We're led to believe that Coruscant is the economic and financial capital of the entire galaxy, but what exactly are the details of Coruscants economic situation and prosperity?

We don't know any specifics. But like any heavily populated planet, it has a near-infinite number of stories and situations depending on the exact time-frame, socio-economic level, and political situation of the time. 

In general, the planet as a whole is by far one of the wealthiest in the galaxy by sheer virtue of the fact that it's a nexus of several of the most heavily trafficked hyperspace lanes in the galaxy. To get anywhere while traveling the core systems, you almost HAVE to stop at Coruscant. That means trade of literally all kinds happens there. Both legal and illegal. 

Since it's a hub of travel, that also means it's a hub of cultural exchange and politics as well. On the upper levels of the planet-city, it almost seems like a paradise of wealth and extravagance, with art and luxury exchanged for sums greater than the entire GDP of poorer solar systems. And of course the surface level is also home to the senate/imperial senate/emperor, where the fates and economies of gigantic swathes of the galaxy were determined. 

But the lower you go into the city, the lower the economic status gets. Just below the surface, you have people working menial jobs for menial income. As middle/lower class you can get. And the further down you go, the higher the crime rate rises until you reach a point where the Republic no longer exists, and it's a bunch of crime lord feifdoms carved out of the dark sub-metropolis. 

And below THAT, you have a place of permanent darkness, where no natural or artificial light has been seen for centuries. This is a place with no law, no control, and no rational thought. It's a feral place full of monstrous scavengers and the lowest of the low. All of them bestial in their struggle for survival.
