No, it's not really. It has more to do with what's available. I guess you could call that climatic, but in all truth concrete has nothing to do with climate, as it can be made anywhere there's a supply of silica.
Actually most houses are made of wood, steel, brick, concrete in some combination. You don't have many wood foundations anymore, for example, and brick is far more reliable though a little more expensive.

Concrete is cold. Plus, living in earthquake country, I know wood structures survive a quake better than concrete.

Because when Europeans settled here, the continent was covered with trees. Cutting them down and making houses out of them was an easy way to make a house, and the land had to be cleared for planting crops, anyway. Brick and stone were for wealthy people.

Does it have to do with concrete expanding and contracting due to hot/cold? I bet it does....
