It really depends upon where you are in the US. Here in South Florida, most homes are built out of concrete block, due to expense (it's cheap) and building codes (for hurricanes). Yes, there are a few wood homes but you have to go out of your way to find them. Brick houses are very rare, as it costs a ton to ship the bricks in (we lack the resources to make bricks, but not concrete blocks).
