If it helps, I believe municipalities in larger cities tend to take most of
the
hardness out of the water in an attempt to make it nice to pipes and nice
to take a bath in.  If the person has well water, they likely soften the
water
with water softeners, dionizers, etc.

In the northeast of the country much of the underground aquifer water
has limestone deposits from ions past which helps contribute to softness.
In areas obtaining lots of water from mountains or rain the water is likely
soft as the minerals havn't had a chance to leach into the water.

Having said that, I understand Los Angeles for one has hard city water!

Hope I've provided some insight.
