To me, it seems like carpet was a 1960s-1990s thing. I've lived in houses of varying vintages, and those years listed seem to be the ones that had carpet when built, at least consistently. Before that it was wood, ceramic, asbestos, or early linoleum tile, wood and other types seem to be popular again.
A good wood floor will last centuries if cared for. Carpet wears and gets dirt under it no matter how well you care for it.

Agree, carpet scuks and wears out. Bitch to keep clean. Plus you dont get cats sliding around chasing their toys. Endless entertainment.
