Establishments rather than chains, and inside the county line only.
North Dakota has the lowest published convenience stores in this comparison, at 6. The next states shown are South Dakota (7) and Wyoming (7).
The table orders 51 states by convenience stores. It describes one published measure, not an overall judgment about where to live.
