Perhaps most surprisingly, Main is the tenth most popular road name throughout the nation, while Park ranks number one. 2nd/Second appropriately holds second place, while Oak is in third.
Looking deeper, the most common street names by state often reveal the type of plants indigenous to those areas, like Lehua in Hawaii and Columbine in Colorado.
