In my (limited, but still a few months) experience, americans rarely (if ever) eat home cooked food.
This varies enormously. In my circle cooking is very common (I grew up eating almost all home cooking and my wife did too (though this wasn’t part of our selection criteria), we cook ~every night now, many of my kids friends families do too) but I also know a lot of households who don’t cook at all.
