I highly suspect it’s a lack of contributors since I live in a small city in the United States (~50k population).

Ah, okay. Different continent, ~500k people here. I’ve programmed in a few house numbers like 10years ago. But generally speaking, OSM knows most hiking routes and illegal mountainbike trails in the woods. And it rarely does silly mistakes while routing me in the car. Something it used to do regularly when I started using it. Guess the experience heavily depends on where you live, then.
