The company plans to refresh each picture every 18 months.

It also depends. Photos of the dmg done by Hurricane Katrina were up in about 2 months after it happened. As it has been already said, Google claims the photos are supposed to be 3 years or more recent.

It depends when the satellite photos are released into the public domain. Google earth is just a cut paste job of any and all satellite views that are free. Not like google owns a satellite.

Every time a City or country has a Census

No, it took them 3 years to complete a whole map of the world. Now they are updating the area's that aren't high resolution yet. That will take another couple of years.

when the imaging they require becomes affordable, this takes about 2-4 years. Don't forget they have to buy the photographs
