Some statistics on this for the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia (unfortunately only In German):

In 2024, 182 bombs with 50kg or more were removed, 12 of which were detonated on-site.

I came across this paper last week. It was quite an interesting read, it is in german but I assume translations will work fine.

My grandparents who lived in the Rhein area had to evacuate twice a year on average due to WW2 bombs found.

It just became a routine.
