Query: Partition-Balanced Families of Codes and Asymptotic Enumeration in
  Coding Theory   We introduce the class of partition-balanced families of codes, and show how
to exploit their combinatorial invariants to obtain upper and lower bounds on
the number of codes that have a prescribed property. In particular, we derive
precise asymptotic estimates on the density functions of several classes of
codes that are extremal with respect to minimum distance, covering radius, and
maximality. The techniques developed in this paper apply to various distance
functions, including the Hamming and the rank metric distances. Applications of
our results show that, unlike the $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear MRD codes, the
$\mathbb{F}_q$-linear MRD codes are not dense in the family of codes of the
same dimension. More precisely, we show that the density of
$\mathbb{F}_q$-linear MRD codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^{n \times m}$ in the set of
all matrix codes of the same dimension is asymptotically at most $1/2$, both as
$q \to +\infty$ and as $m \to +\infty$. We also prove that MDS and
$\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear MRD codes are dense in the family of maximal codes.
Although there does not exist a direct analogue of the redundancy bound for the
covering radius of $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear rank metric codes, we show that a
similar bound is satisfied by a uniformly random matrix code with high
probability. In particular, we prove that codes meeting this bound are dense.
Finally, we compute the average weight distribution of linear codes in the rank
metric, and other parameters that generalize the total weight of a linear code.
