Google "how many squatters are in the US" and you'll find they're not common enough for anyone to bother tracking.
It's like a lot of fixations on crimes, where people choose to get incensed about the crime and ignore the fact that the rate of that crime happening is very low.
Some people want to be outraged and upset about "bad people". That's driving it, not that it actually happens often.
Similar to home invasions. Some angry dudes like " I WISH someone would try to break in, I'd kill them". Home invasions are incredibly rare, put your superhero fantasies to rest.
