And yes all houses here have 120/240 except very very very old ones, but I would be surprised if any original 120V only houses are left
I lived in one of the oldest settlements in Milwaukee. Many of the homes were never wired for electricity, until the mid-20's and never rewired till at least 60-70 years later. They were all 30A 120V services. The POCO subsidized the original installation and they were wired with BX.
The homes wired with K&T, were homes built in the earlier part of the 20th century 1900-1920.
