Male raccoons tend to live alone most of the time. Female raccoons may have a litter of kits with them for a winter before the kits go off on their own. Also, sometimes raccoons form gender specific (all male or all female) groups that gather to eat and/or rest in the same area.

Yes, but many are solitary at least part of the time. Social groups of three or four are common, and female raccoons will live with their babies for about a year, until they are adults.

Yes, raccoons live in the wild and that includes those that live in the city. The city is actually a more dangerous place for the raccoon than a forest.
