I read an article that said that 50% of college students admited to have some kind of sexual encounter with a sibling, but of course this was in the experimenting zone and it included things like mutual masturbation and oral, the percentage of those that admited to have intercourse was much smaller.
With those kinds of surveys, volunteer bias clouds results, so I'd take that study with a grain of salt. Those particularly squeamish about a certain subject (i.e. incest, which the public is generally uncomfortable with) tend not to participate, which can significantly skew the data.
