How about the really pertinent question these scare bits always ignore: "What make YOU a target for hackers?"
About the only way a hacker is going to target the average American suburban cubicle dweller is if they make themselves a target. It's not like hackers are driving around New Orleans, BR, Shreveport, Monroe seeking targets of opportunity.
Sure, Los Angeles/Beverly, some areas of DFW, NYC have some slight risk. Yet again though: what makes any specific household a target? Random gonna random. High density is where the targets are, not suburban sprawl.
