Don't be so naive everyone, lore-wisely the Falmer living underground aren't supposed to be as scarcely shown as they are in-game, their population is the same or even more than the whole population of Skyrim. Remember, they are breeding secretly from anyone knowing since the 1st Era with no wars between them or the outside world & also take into account the longevity of the Snow Elves (Knight-Paladin Gelebor - Arch-Curate Vyrthur) meaning that the even the first Snow Elves to be enslaved and become the Falmer (The Betrayed) could still be alive.
