On average it is updated every 1-3 years but this can vary depending on the area being updated. Larger cities such as New, York, London and Dallas would be updated more often then a small little known town or village would.

Images of Google Earth are updated by people going out and taking more photographs of the planet. By taking regular photos, this keeps Google Earth up-to-date.

How often is any one area updated on Google Maps?

Google Maps (and Google Earth) are updated together and bulk updates usually once or twice every month but NOT every area is updated on each update.It's hard to say exactly when a given area will be updated because Google does not provide advance notice and some areas may be updated more frequently than others (just because that data is more readily available). While most images are no more than 3 years old, you may occasionally see an older image.Due to overwhelming demand when a given area will be updated Google has created a new e-mail notification service. Check out 'Follow Your World' in related links below.

Where might one go to get a Google Earth update?

Google Earth should automatically prompt you to update, whether it be through the app stores or not, when a newer and updated version is up. If this doesn't happen you may have to allow for this to prompt you to update when there is a new version out or to simply check back every so often to see if it needs an update.
