[Alien] What is the current state of Earth canonically? Is it abandoned? Is it overrun by xenomorphs? Or is it more or less fine ignoring the whole "looks like wasteland" part?

Three big things have happened on Earth since Ripley left:  
  
1) There was a xenomorph infestation.  
2) The *Auriga* crashed into Africa at full speed.  
3) Weyland-Yutani re-terramorphed Earth, averting an extinction event.  
  
So, Earth is a shithole with a pretty wild climate, but it's livable. The human population has been drastically reduced, and there is barely enough wildlife left for what remains to be called an ecosystem.  
  
People live, have jobs, raise families. Power outage are a little more common, and resources like food and water aren't as abundant as we're familiar with, but the quality of life isn't *worse* than it would be out in a colony in the frontier.
