'communal' - pronunciation pattern?

Hi,

According to my Eng. dictionary, either the first or the second syllable is stressed in this word.

From your experience, which do you think is heard more often today in YOUR area (YOUR environment, etc), 'cOmmunal' or 'commUnal'??

Mus-te

Stress on any syllable other than the second sounds strange to my ear.
