The whole house is made of wood, though not technically what we'd call "timber frame". This was "ballon" framed. (technical discussion to follow)

I can't say what most houses in the US are made from since there is an enormous variety of houses iin this country. But I'd bet most typically are wood frame esp. new construction.
