Seems like we average about two a year, presumably from nails left behind by roofers. It sounds like people change roofs more often in TV, which would suggest more errant nails. Offsetting that is fewer miles driving by TV residents, and ease of finding those nails in the street, with the newer pristine roads of TV.
What's your experience?

Also, it is a good idea to not drive through areas where they are building new houses.

Zero in four.

One flat. Repaired myself with tire plug

Twice a year when the weather changes our tires loose enough air for the dashboard light to go on. We bot an electronic tire inflator machine for about $25 that easily fills the tires.

We have an air compressor which, oddly enough, has more than just one function.

The changes in air pressure from one "season" to the next also changes the pressure in our tires and a couple times a year they need to be topped off.

I've had two actual flat tires total with the four vehicles we own, in the past five years of living here. Neither were from nails. One was caused by a sharp stone that got imbedded in the rubber, the other was due to someone placing the stem too close to the edge of the wheel, which cut into the stem.

We have been lucky.

Only time we have ever have the low pressure light go on when weather gets colder

Can you explain that to Roger Godell

Going on 11 years, no flat tires, 5 or 6 screws or nails in tires, all were repaired at Wildwood tire, 2 in the last 4 weeks!

I have had a few flat tires, but they were only flat on the bottom.

I lost some respect for Wildwood Tire recently when they charged me $200 to tell me that my AC was working fine, when it obviously wasn't. They just didn't want to fix it. Shame on them.

Had on last week, took 15 mins to put plug in.

I don’t wait for dash light to come to check my tire pressure. I routinely check it once month and usually need couple pounds of air. I see lot of low tires on golf carts when out and about. I can assume 6 out ten cars are low on something?

All you dog walkers pay attention on the road surfaces for objects that can pierce tires.
My son say's everyday he picks up a nail or two off the road/street around the neighborhood.
