The term "historical" as used in the GNIS specifically means that the feature no longer exists on the landscape. Good luck fellow researchers!! It looks to me like the answer is out there somewhere in US census data. Second Street is most common, with 10, Wherever that piece of info came from should be able to give the complete answer. The data to answer the question should exist. Theoretically, the bureau could figure out how many streets there are and how many of them have at least one house on them.
Whether they have actually done that or could do that for you is another story. Hi will Even though I'm absolutely confident that I have the most exact answer you're likely to get, I'll post it as a comment, for reasons which will shortly become obvious: There's really only ONE street in the entire USA! It just has a lot of segments which, though they form a continuous path, are at right-angles or other angles, to each other. We've named the right-angled segments 'streets', but to show that it's obvious that we're really naming the angles, and not the road itself, there are circular segments which we call 'circles'.
