This alphanumeric sequence represents a specific physical location. It is composed of a numerical street address, street name, directional indicator, township, state abbreviation, and postal code. This complete designator provides a standardized method for identifying and locating a property within the United States Postal Service’s system. For example, packages, correspondence, or emergency services can be precisely directed using this information.
The accuracy and completeness of this type of identifier are crucial for efficient delivery services, property assessment, and emergency response. A clearly defined location reduces ambiguity and minimizes the risk of errors in navigation and communication. Historically, such address systems evolved to manage increasing population density and the need for precise location identification for postal services and urban planning.
