Well, that's probably intentional. Au Ra escaped the Empire in Othard and are in Eorzea as refugees. A lot of those refugees would be survivors and/or exceptional individuals (in other words, players).
Adding to that, it's fairly implied throughout the game that the Raen came to Eorzea with a rather large population compared to the Xaela. The Raen have more of a non-mobile, stable civilization about them, so I think they were more able to have access to leave Othard versus the nomadic Xaela. At least that is my head canon speaking.
I do find that Xaela are very rare to find in the game NPC-wise. Even compared to Raen.
