I never saw a single snake in all the time I lived there. Brings back memories though, the desert scenes though I rarely ventured out the PHX city limits.

They aren't all that common here. I've seen 3 this year and am out and about every day. But there are times when they are obviously really active. We've just been through one of those times here.
Where I grew up there were places that were just infested with rattlesnakes. If you went to those places you were almost certain to see them. I haven't found a place with that sort of infestation here.
Are they as aggressive as they are made out to be? They have quite the reputation (rattlers).
They are not. I understand the Pacific Rattler can be aggressive, and I know that the diamondbacks have an uncomfortable molting season in the spring, but generally if you make a little noise they will get away from you. The know you are too big to eat....
