I'm in the US and I have never lived in a dwelling with any lock more secure than a Yale lock. My parents did just install a security lock, but I don't think they even get a discount on their insurance for it.
Where I live currently (Southern California) ranch houses (i.e. ground-floor only) are so common that anyone with a rock can get into your house pretty easily, so a more secure lock might not be worth it.
