As shown in Figure 8, the greatest number of gas stations can be found in Baltimore City, followed by Montgomery County. Howard County has the fewest number of stations following Carroll County. Compared to the population in Harford and Frederick Counties, which are more rural in nature, Howard County has relatively few gas stations per capita. Gas stations per capita are represented in Figure 15, Gas Stations per Capita (1,000) by County, 2007–2011, in Appendix A.3. It is also apparent from the map that gas stations are primarily located near population centers and major roadways.
