I can't speak for size, but I do know that homes in the south are typically built without any insulation. When gas prices were low, this was seen as an extra construction expense that was only justified in the north... Even many of the ones here in Colorado from the 60's and 70's had minimal insulation, as it was not seen as cost effective. Obviously, we're changing our minds now.
