In 12 years in Austin I have encountered zero scorpions indoors, and maybe a single-digit number outdoors. This despite essentially constantly walking barefoot in both. In my entire life in Texas I've been stung by a scorpion exactly one time.

We get about one or two a month here in the summer, in the house. There’s plenty more in the yard. We found one in our daughter’s crib and another stung my wife while we were asleep in bed. We’ve got brown recluse, black widows, and rattlesnakes too. Welcome to Texas!

I’ve lived here 6 months and already found 2 in my house. Depends where you live I guess!
