How rare are Earth like worlds?

Hard to put a figure on it, but for me on an average I might see one every 4-5hrs of exploring. Might see 10-20 Water Worlds before getting one. Saying that, it seems to be a little area specific. By this I mean some areas seem to have more than others, and some sectors seem to be completely absent of them. Last week I came across 3 in a matter of an hour or so, but that is the exception from my experience.
I might have found 10-15 in about 1500 systems visited this trip.
What seems to be rarer for me is the Water Giants, I have only just found one after 1800 systems visited!
Keep hunting! You will find them!

I think the K & F type stars from memory is where I have mainly seen them. Might not be strictly those tho, but might be a start.
Generally I see them 1k ls from the star or more (in the golden zone or whatever you call it), but this will vary depending on the size/temp of the star.
I've found two orbiting Neutrons, which is... Odd, but as above, K & F are the most likely, but not restricted to...
Z...
I've found 6 earth-likes in about 800-900 systems explored, although two were in one system.
Same here, I've only found one as well.

I would think it depends on how you explore, it's down to luck. If you explore by aiming for a way point & then using the fastest route planning then the chances of finding one would be a lot lower than if you used economy route planning & visited every system on the way.
I use the former & dont go out of my way to look for them. On my last trip i found 1 earthlike from about 850 systems visited. Unless i specifically go on a hunting trip then i wouldnt expect to find all that many.
Now water worlds i see a lot of on my trips

I've flown in excess of 60k LY (Sgr A* and back with oooh-what-have-we-got-here detours). Stumbled upon 2 Earth-likes. Mind you, I got a heap of water worlds.
Aint that the truth. I dont bother looking for them, if I find them all well and good, but dont get hung up if you dont find them.
I've tried looking. And I've tried not looking, so I've given up. Water Worlds are a dime a dozen and always hurt when I realise they're not my first Earth like.
I've spent months out there, I was a pathfinder, but should be Elite by the time this latest mission is done. And I've never found an Earthlike. And that's fantastic, makes that first one all the more special.
3 in around 3500 systems for me. Though I have found lots of waterworlds and terraformable ones. The area I am currently wandering appears filled with gas giants more than anything.
