I've lived in two different dorms at two different schools, and they had two totally different set ups. The first one was co-ed by wing (each floor had four wings branching off the main tower, and two were male, two were female). The second was an entirely female dorm (not my first choice, but hey, when you don't have the chance to sign up for housing until May you take what you can get).
In my experience, the majority of housing these days is either co-ed by wing or co-ed by floor. I've yet to see anything that was just co-ed by room, randomly tossing in guys and girls rooms. I think single-sex housing is on the way out -- my first school had no single-sex dorms, and the second has one that will probably remain an all-girls dorm for as long as possible (it's pretty palatial for a dorm and has a lot of history connected to it, and as soon as they get guys in there, they'll tear up the place!), but it used to have more fairly recently that got transitioned into co-ed dorms because of lack of interest.
