Actually, it depends on just where you live.  In my parents' neighborhood
it works out to one ZIP+4 code per half-block.

However, in some locations, individual post-office boxes have their own
ZIP+4 code.  For awhile, my mailing address was PO Box 4####, Memphis, TN,
38174-####.  Not that that gives anyone any indication where I live.... ;)

And going to the extreme...I currently live at a unique address that is
served by not one, but two ZIP+4 codes -- one for this address, and one
for this block.

Of course, that might be because I live in a church.... ;)
