Most/fewest US route termini?

[usends]

Which states have the fewest and most US route ends?

For current endpoints, looks like TX has 37.  Runners-up are NC (22), FL (21), and VA (20).
Caveat: need to define whether common endpoints (like US 77-83) count as one or two.

If we look at current and historic endpoints, TX has had at least 96.  Runners-up are NC (77) and PA (71). 
Caveat: those numbers are always changing, as more historic maps/documents/resources become accessible.  To wit: my total count of historic endpoints has increased by 40 over the past year or so, primarily because of research by NE2 and Mapmikey.  But I doubt the numbers will ever change enough to depose TX from first place.

Now who has the least excluding both Rhode Island and Nevada being they have none.  Are there any contending states that have less than ten?

[jp the roadgeek]

CT only has 2 (5,7),  MA has 3 (3, 6, 20), NH has 2 (3, 4) VT has 3 (5, 7, 302), ME has 5 (1, 2, 201 [intrastate], 202, 302)

West end US-6, West End US-50 and South End US-101 in California.

US-91, US-40, US-60, US-70, US-66 and US-99 used to have termini in California.

There's also 395 and 199 (current) and 80, 299, 399, 466, 48 (past).  Total currently is only 5; past high mark was 13.

[usends]

Now who has the least excluding both Rhode Island and Nevada being they have none.  Are there any contending states that have less than ten?

33 states have less than 10 current endpoints.  CT and NH are the only ones with 2.  6 other states have 3 each.

[usends]

West end US-6, West End US-50 and South End US-101 in California...

There's also 395 and 199 (current)...  Total currently is only 5...

I show current total of 6; don't forget US 97.

Maryland has 5 total out of its 14 current routes: US 29, US 50, US 113, US 222, and US 340.

It previously had 6 others: US 48, US 111, US 140, US 213, US 240, and US 301. (US 301 used to terminate in Baltimore before the Bay Bridge was built - now it crosses and heads northeast to Delaware.)

[usends]

CT only has 2 (5,7),  MA has 3 (3, 6, 20), NH has 2 (3, 4) VT has 3 (5, 7, 302), ME has 5 (1, 2, 201 [intrastate], 202, 302)

I show 4 in MA (44), and because of 201 I would say there are 6 in ME.

Most US highways simply pass through Illinois.  Only the following actually terminate here:
14, 34, 54, and 150.  A measly four out of a total of 19 that are in the state. 4/19 = 21%.

Historical ones that terminated here include: 32, 66, and 124.

[bassoon1986]

Louisiana has a total of 16 US highways (11, 51, 61, 63, 65, 71, 79, 80, 84, 90, 165, 167, 171, 190, 371, 425)

11 of them have 1 or both endpoints here (all but 79, 80, 84, 90 and 425)

so 11/16...69%

[roadman65]

That is cause Louisiana is along the southern end of the country with no states south of it.  Most N-S have to end someplace.  True US 79 is N-S, but it is also diagonal, but nonetheless any coastal or border states will have a lot of ends except Rhode Island which has only 3 transit routes to begin with and not even a 3 digit route. 

In the 13th state you have a south coast and land locked on the other three sides, but its only N-S route US 1 makes a curve inside the state to follow the general east coast  which from Cape Cod to New Jersey runs E-W, but US 1 overall, as we know, is the long distance east coast US route for all.

Alabama (7): 31, 43, 45, 280, 331, 411, 431

Stumbled upon this thread when trying to search for another one, seems like no one mentioned Ohio so far.

Looks like there are 8 US routes with an endpoint in Ohio (22, 36, 42, 68, 223, 250, 322, 422), 9 if former US 21 is included. However, 3 of those routes (42, 322, 422, former US 21) terminate in Cleveland's Public Square, so there are only 6 places of US route endpoints.

MN has a good "kill" to "survive" ratio for its US routes, with 8, 53, 59, 61, 65, 69, 71, 75, 169, and 212 ending here, as well as historically 77, 210, and the original 371 formerly ending in MN.

It's a shame that in both Washington and California that the few highways left terminating there have none in the big cities of San Diego and Seattle. Both cities have no US routes at left at all.

You figure the big population centers on the Coast would have them, but the interstates replaced them as the west coast don't like redundancy of interstate and US routes together.

West coast except the states on US 30's corridor somehow

If OR, ID and WY were like CA, WA or NV being trigger happy truncating US routes, US 30's western terminus would be somewhere in Nebraska.

They did eliminate US 830 though, but that was only in WA if I'm not mistaken hence why US 730 still exists.

Yes Portland at least has two US routes and both go to the coast to end at US 101.  Though US 26 was only truncated to have a useless concurrency with US 101, it still ends at the Ocean and transits Portland.

I didn't see anyone do Colorado.

Terminates One End in CO
US24
US34
US36
US84
US138
US285
US400
US550

Terminates Both Ends in CO
US350

Runs Through w/o Terminating in CO
US6
US40
US50
US85
US87
US160
US287
US385
US491

So, 10 total termini in CO, 9 highways that run through without stopping.

Terminates one end in Arizona

-  US 60
-  US 64
-  US 70
-  US 89
-  US 93
-  US 95
-  US 160
-  US 180
-  US 191

Arizona doesn't have any current US Routes that pass through the state and don't terminate in it.  Previously US 60, US 70 and US 80 all did pass through Arizona without terminating there.

[FrCorySticha]

For Montana, I'm counting the US/Canada border and Yellowstone Park as terminating in state.

Terminates one end in Montana
- US 20(w)
- US 87
- US 93
- US 310

Terminates both ends in Montana
- US 89(n)
- US 191(n)
- US 287(n)

Runs through
- US 2
- US 12
- US 212

Basically, the only US highways that "naturally" terminate in Montana is US 310 and the north termini of US 287. The other termini are due to the US/Canada border or Yellowstone.

Arizona doesn’t have any current US Routes that pass through the state and don’t terminate in it.  Previously US 60, US 70 and US 80 all did pass through Arizona without terminating there.

A feat worth pointing out, it’s not a corner state, but all US routes it has terminate within it.  Thanks to its neighbor CA who was trigger happy to get rid of many US routes within its domain it’s that way.

True, but it is a border state.  That matters for 95 and 191.

California killed the E-W routes like US 60 and 70 that once passed through. US 80 and 66 is are both iffy as both NM and TX also decommissioned those routes that once transited it.  More for US 66 as more states went along.
