That's krekt. The database shows Denver with 6 and LGB with 5.


If they are counting both ends of the runway, then I'm curious about the
one's with 1, 3, 5, and 7.......


One runway with two landing directions = 1 runway in their
statistics. If each direction was counted separately they would all
be even numbers.

So the airport with 8 runways has up to 16 landing directions, but 8
bits of solid stuff on the ground.
