If you are thinking rural alaska, possibly. Your typical US suburb is build of houses that don't do well without HVAC in neither the winter nor the summer. The amount of gasoline that needs to be spent to go shopping is high, and you can't expect gasoline to do well either during a grid collapse. I don't have high expectations of Manhattan in the winter, but I'd bet on them over, say, Kenosha, or the Kansas City suburbs.
