We have yet to find a single body of liquid water in the universe that we can confirm is devoid of life.
100% of worlds where Earth-like life could survive and that we have explored have an intelligent species living on them.
There isn't a single star system we have ruled out from having intelligent civilizations.
While we can put some bounds on things (some worlds are inhospitable to life as we know it, we're almost certainly the only intelligent species in our solar system at this time, we're likely the only intelligent civilization to inhabit our planet in at least the past few hundred million years, there probably isn't a recent galaxy-spanning empire in the milky way, there's likely no civilization actively trying to communicate with us, etc) there is absolutely no evidence that life as we know it is unusual either in terms of what sort of life is out there or how much.
