Selling agents use the term " all stucco street" as a selling point but you'll never here them say "all vinyl siding street".
I remember when the controversy about whether the contractors were installing the vinyl siding with the required number of fasteners the developer responded by talking about pieces of a vinyl sided home that was destroyed by the tornado but the vinyl siding was still firmly attached to the piece of the wall lying in the street.

That said, the tornado was about 12 years ago. None in this area since.
