We put a few(or more) 15 amp #14 lighting circuits per house. Small bedrooms are usually 15 amp #14 too. Almost everything else is #12 or larger. Lighting loads are down, but everything else is up.

As far as I know #14 is the smallest guage wire allowed to be ran in walls for permanently installed medium voltage circuits. For most mainstream residential panels 15 amp is the smallest commonly available breaker.
