How rare are albino squirrels?
I just saw one on my street, and I think that is the first I have ever seen in my 47 years...

2. I've seen two, my friend had one as a pet.
His dogs had injured it and he built a nice big cage with chicken wire. He kept it for three years or so before it died. It had the red eyes and everything!

4. they're here and there
Had one around my house when I lived in a neighborhood for about 2 years. Saw a dog carrying it up the road one day but I think it was road pizza. Some small towns develop fairly robust populations, at least for a while. Brevard NC has them.
