Interesting thread. Lived here for years with street name and RR PO box
then county came in and numbered. Street with 10 houses and cul de sac,
they started numbering with 500 and skipped some numbers. Makes no sense
at all which is what you expect from morons in the county


Depends on the lots, not the houses, in most cases. If a lot can be
sub-divided in the future and a house plunked down in the middle, they
assign that number to the lot and go to the next house. The empty wooded
lot next to me has a number for just that reason.

It depends on where. Some places measure the distance from the
corner and assign the house number. Other places even with big lots
just number by two's until some location where they go up to the next
hundred.
