I read somewhere that the giant house spider out numbers the hobo spider 3:1 or 4:1 on the west side of the mountains in WA. Which doesn't make hobo spiders all that rare, most people living here have probably seen one. Most of the time you're going to find giant house spiders though, and since spider bites are rare anyway the hobo threat gets a bit exaggerated.
I'm kind of annoyed by both sides, the side that every time they see a spider that's brown assumes it's a hobo and the side that assumes every time they see a potential hobo that it's not. The reality has gotta be some where in the middle.
