    My understanding is that our solar system is in a less crowded area of the Milky Way, on a spiral arm.

That's probably the reason aliens haven't made contact with us yet. We're so far out in the boonies, we're not seen as worth the effort. Sucks to be them though. They don't know the party they're missing.
