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

[pianocello]

For Indiana it is Winona Lake, in Kosciusko County, the 117th largest municipality with a population of 4,908.

I hate to "um, actually" you, but the mentions of small dense cities in suburban areas got me thinking about Lake County. Turns out Winfield has a population of 7,181 as of the 2020 census.

My best guess for Wisconsin is Schofield, pop. 2157

I found Kimberly (7,320) and Combined Locks (3,634) in the Appleton area. I haven't bothered to check the Madison or Milwaukee areas for small suburbs that might have been skipped by the state highways, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is ultimately beaten.

Iowa's appears to be Asbury near Dubuque, population 5,943.

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

Rhode Island only has one municipality without a numbered route: New Shoreham, the town out on Block Island.

In Alaska, Sitka (unified city/borough) would take the prize, with a 2020 population of 8458.

Kenai (home rule city within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, pop. 7424, but less than a dozen miles on paved roads from AK 1) and Bethel (second-class city within the Bethel census area, pop. 6325), get honorable mentions.

Kimberly appears to border WIS 441. Combined Locks is a little bigger than Thiensville (3,290), so it may be the answer, but I haven't looked at every village. (And I don't even know if towns should count.) Also, state-maintained Business US 51 goes through Schofield so it's ineligible anyway.

My former home of Evanston is the largest in Illinois, and with 78,110 people, probably one of the largest in the nation. (I think we had a thread about that already, though, and somewhere on the East Coast was larger.)

For Iowa it looks like it's Carter Lake (pop. 3,791). East of the Missouri, the largest is Jesup (pop. 2,508).

Carter Lake has IA-165.

I don't know what it would be for Nebraska, because everything over 100 has to be connected to the state highway system, even if it is just a spur route.

The OP said not to count county/locally numbered routes.

As was established a long time ago, county routes are for sissies.

Well-played.

Kansas' appears to be #19:  Prairie Village, a suburb of Kansas City, pop. 22,957 as of the 2020 census.

Next might be #48:  Valley Center, an outer suburb of Wichita, pop. 6822 as of the 2020 census but growing quite a bit since then.

The NB on-ramp to the WI 441 freeway at College Ave enters Kimberly even though the rest of the WI 441 ROW that is adjacent to it is entirely in Appleton.
