It is actually very common. It is one of the MOST common child hood cancers, and while not a most common, is very common in the elderly.
The website for the leukemia and lymphoma website should have some statistics I think.
It is also becomming more popular even with the young adult to mid age people due to environmental causes. Cigs, benzene, as well as a lot of other chemicals are a risk factor. If you smoke, work in.with petrified oils, rubber, nuclear plants or with the waste, live in areas with any kind of plant (electrical, coal, oil, chemical, ect) your risks are higher.
