On my street, there are only three addresses: 1031, 1033, 1050.  *All*
45 of the numbers for 1031 are identical in 1033, and 1050 has all of
those numbers and then some.  I rarely get misrouted mail, and I still
get mail with incorrect or MISSING unit numbers.  

It's partly a function of whether your area has a regular carrier.  If you
are on a fringe area or get a lot of substitutes, the error rate goes way
up.  In my case, it's easy to tell when a substitute carrier or sorter
is on duty.
