According to recent kepler mission results, how common are planets around other stars?

After 9 years of spectacular findings, NASA shut down the Kepler space telescope at the end of last October (2018).

From 2009 to 2018, the Kepler mission found more than 2,600 planets in other "solar systems" ... in orbit around other stars besides our Sun.  AND, at the time the mission ended, (5 months before the night I'm writing this), there were still more than 2,000 sets of data still to be analyzed.

The results suggest that having a family of planets is really not an unusual thing for a star.  Indeed, the rare, unusual stars may be the few that don't have planets orbiting them.

Planets around other stars are probably so common that they are the rule, and not the exception to the rule.

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
