I don't think that it gives too much information, other than a closer
approximation as to your residence.  For example, my street has two +4
zips, 8420 and 8421.  The even numbered zips are for those whose house
number is even (presumably everyone on one side of the street has even
addressed, and the other odd) and the odd zips are for those whose house
number is odd.  A local post office should have a listing of +4 zips, and
what they mean.  (I believe that some +4 zips reference post office boxes).
