We study the problem of counting the number of varieties in families which have a rational point. We give geometric conditions on the singular fibres that force very few of the varieties in the family to have a rational point, in a precise quantitative sense. This builds on ideas and techniques developed by Serre, and generalises and unifies existing results in the literature by Serre, Browning-Dietmann, Bright-Browning-Loughran, Graber-Harris-Mazur-Starr, … This is joint work with Daniel Loughran (Hannover).
