Well, I know one of the ones I lived at (107) started at 101, so it isn't very rare here... I've never seen a single-digit outside of businesses.

Oftentimes, the numbering is just plain screwy... it follows no real order -- here, it's 1-3-5-7-9 and 2-4-6-8-0 depending on what side of the street you're on; in ohter areas it goes up by 4s, 8s, or other rediculous numbers...

It's actually common practice to give the houses on the right hand side of the street even and the left hand sided ones odd numbers (where left/right is defined in the direction of ascending numbers).
I don't think I've ever seen four-digit house numbers, and three-digit ones are quite rare here.
I meant mostly it going up by 2s; in some places it goes up by 4s, 8s, or even more rediculous numbers (I've seen 20 and 40s, mabye 80s too and all kinds of oddball inbetweeners)

Honestly, the numbering system here makes no sense.

Last view: 6143 days 		Around here there are sometimes weird gaps in the numbering and the two sides of the street don't necessarily match up. There's one street where it's like 4162 on one side and 29335 on the other. This must be confusing for someone looking for a particular address because they assume the addresses on one side more or less match those on the other.

Last view: 6076 days 		I don't know what my house number is, but I think the lowest one I've lived in was 908. The houses on that street were one side evens, opposite side odds.

Lowest was 40. Highest was 7330. Funny thing was that there were two 7330's, and one was in the next cul-de-sac of the other. We occasionally got the other house's mail. Our current house number is 800. What's strange about this is that we're surrounded by houses in the *incredibly long pause because of Mission: Impossible II* mid-high 100's. Numbers just don't make sense anymore...

My house is number 17644.

My street is CR1530.

My address is 17644 CR1530.

Fun.


I've seen similar stuff in rural parts of Michigan that numbered their houses recently to accommodate the 911 system. They don't bother naming the roads, they just number them.
