Very many! Hamburg was one of the most heavily bombed cities in WWII, and we still have bomb disposals here every other week. Some are pretty easy, with only a few streets being cordoned off, but sometimes, entire city districts have to be evacuated.

It mostly depends on the detonator. If the detonator is either fully intact or fully inop, then it is usually rather easy to defuse the bomb. But if it has been rotting away and now is in instable condition, the bomb can detonate any time.
