How far are the wooden wall studs spaced apart in a home?

What is the wall stud spacing in a new home - 16" apart??

What about an older home - built in 1900 - is it 14"?
They are very difficult to find with all the plaster & lathe in the wall!

Answers:
My house was built in 1901 and the truth is there were no standards back then, you may find as we have they may be different all over the house.
