Default coed dorms

I graduated in 1997 from a nominally Christian college in the midwest. Our dorms were all gender-segregated by floor. There were no coed bathrooms. Students of the opposite sex were allowed on the floor until a certain hour of the night. After that, theoretically the RA could bust you, but basically every student agreed that it was our shared responsibility to cover for anybody breaking that rule, and the RAs probably preferred to look the other way as well.

I spent a few minutes trying to find actual statistics online, but I lost interest. I'm pretty sure that most colleges in the U.S. still have this sort of coed dorm setup (i.e. by floor). The ones that allow coed rooms are rare enough that people still write news stories about them.
