What is the largest municipality in your state that is NOT on a numbered highway

[jt4]

For Ohio, it's University Heights (population 13k). If we're allowing bordering numbered roads to count, it would be Upper Arlington, as US 33 forms the western edge of the city limits.

Here's another city in California that has no freeways in its city limits and it's Broadmoor, California. It has no freeways in its city limits but the nearest Freeway is Highway 280 and can easily mistake Broadmoor as a district in Daly City if one is passing through.

Broadmoor is not an incorporated city - upthread I mentioned if we were counting CDPs then some of the Sacramento suburbs would be in the running. You could also include Isla Vista on that list.

For incorporated cities, you could previously consider Paradise, which was around 26K before the 2018 fire. It was as low as 4,000 or so after and supposedly is back to around 9,000.

Does Evanston, IL (2020 USCensus - 78,110) currently have a numbered state highway in its city limits?

No, it does not.

I posted this on July 26th, I guess viewer didn't look at page 2:

"Someone upthread said Evanston (78,110), which I think is correct. No US 41 or IL 58 crossings as in next door Skokie. Rt. 58 ends at US41, Skokie Blvd, then Dempster is a city street. Sheridan Rd used to be IL 42, but not since forever ago."

Just a reminder that not everyone has the same forum settings.  On my view, what you quoted is currently on page 1.

Sheridan Rd once was a numbered state highway, but IDOT gave it up many decades ago.

IDOT may have decomissioned IL 42 and turned over parts of Sheridan Road corridor, but there are still long stretches that are under IDOT jurisdiction as an unmarked roadway:

• Devon Avenue in Chicago to the South Boulevard intersection in Evanston
• Winnetka Avenue (Winnetka/Kenilworth border) to the eastern/southern Lakeside Manor intersection in Highland Park
• The Lambert Tree/Lincolnwood Road intersection in Highland Park to the St. John Avenue intersection south of downtown Highland Park
• Elm Place intersection north of downtown Highland Park to the Walker Avenue/Lake View Avenue in Highwood
• The Moffet Road intersection at the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff border to the North Chicago boundary.

Largest in South Carolina is probably Pine Ridge. Nearly every town of any size more than a couple hundred is at least connected to a numbered state highway.

And even the smaller roads are state-maintained by the numbering of counties. Like Charleston is S-10.

I'm not even sure, honestly. Oregon does a good job at putting cities on their numbered highways, if I had to guess it would be Christmas Valley, but it might be something bigger, I'm still gonna go with Christmas Valley though.

not county/locally numbered routes

Doesn't matter, because county-numbered routes don't count per OP.

Connecticut does not have any municipalities without a numbered route passing through it's boundaries.
...

True for the 169 towns. The one CT city not coterminous with its town, Groton, has numbered routes, as do 8 of the 9 boroughs. The one exception: Stonington, within town of same name, population 976, arguably a "municipality".

CA 191 ends within Paradise.

For Ontario, it's Clarence-Rockland with a 2021 population of 26,505. It includes the former Highway 17, which was downloaded in the late 90's.

There are multiple larger municipalities that border provincial highways only on the edge of the municipality, but I counted those as still being within the municipal borders.

The most populated municipality in Pennsylvania without a numbered highway is the borough of Lansdowne in Delaware County, although it is served by quadrant routes.

Clay, Alabama is not served by any state routes.

[mgk920]

Right now I'm thinking that Combined Locks (incorporated village) is indeed the winner for Wisconsin.

Clay, Alabama is not served by any state routes.

Still smaller than Hueytown, admittedly, but interesting to note regardless.

I believe Hueytown, AL, is the largest city in Alabama without any kind of numbered highway going through it, as it has a population of 16,776 as of 2020. The eastern end of the city gets very close to I-20/I-59, though doesn't quite reach it.

You're right, I thought US 11 touched the border, but probably confused it with a "To" sign on 20/59.

Arkansas' leader in the clubhouse for decades is Shannon Hills (pop. 4,490), a community just inside Saline County and within the Bryant ISD. I'm guessing No. 2 is Cammack Village (pop. 778), an enclave within the city of Little Rock.

Skimming through Arizona it appears to be now Cave Creek since Queen Creek now barely has AZ 24.

San Tan Valley just recently voted to incorporate. Assuming that actually comes to fruition, the new municipality would have an estimated population of about 103K, which is significantly bigger than Evanston, and, at the moment, no state highways enter the proposed city limits.
