There is only about 200 worldwide. They are a mutation, there has never been a documented wild birth of a white tiger. All white tigers have been bred and raised from the same white tiger found in the 1950's, all inbred to keep the white gene alive.
White tigers are only rare color morphs of the Bengal tiger, and can appear in a litter of normal cubs at any time. Currently, there are no known white wild tigers.

In the 1800's, the estimated world population of tigers was over 200,000.
According to fedstats.gov, the estimated population of White County, Tennesse, is 24,482.
The population of White Rock is 18755 people.
The population of white tigers in captivity worldwide in 1998 was estimated to be around 200 individuals, with the majority living in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. White tigers are not a separate species but rather a genetic variation of the Bengal tiger caused by a recessive gene. Conservation efforts are focused on preserving the genetic diversity of all tiger subspecies, including white tigers.
The population is estimated to be below 2,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers
It is estimated that there are no white tigers in the wild. The white tiger is a result of a genetic mutation found in captive breeding programs.
White tigers are only a rare color phase of the Bengal tiger. As of today, there are not any white tigers among the wild population.

Several hundred, all in captivity.
The odds of a white tiger being born are very rare, as it is a genetic mutation of the Bengal tiger that results in their unique coat color. It is estimated that only 1 in every 10,000 tigers born in the wild is a white tiger. White tigers are often bred in captivity due to their popularity, but this practice has been criticized by conservationists.
