In my experience this is still the norm in high CoL west-coast cities. Single people living alone are the exception rather than the norm. Couples tend to rent a 1- or 2-bedroom.

Interestingly this seems to still be true for many highly-paid young people who could easily afford their own place but end up with roommates to save up money. No idea how representative my sample is.
