The house my mom lives in currently happens to have cedar planking! But the one she just bought has brick. XD
The wood content depends a lot on the age of the house. Old Victorians, turn-of-the-century houses, and cheap older houses tend to be wood, while new developments tend to build in brick.
ETA: Ironically, someone on my f-list just posted photos of her house (http://badnoodles.livejournal.com/254399.html). This is pretty much an average house, barring fluctuations in styles of windows, doors, and colors, that's been built in the last 30 or so years around here. Scale it up to get a McMansion.
