   Most addresses (including non-USA) are a mess of mixed and often   
   redundant information.

   A ZIP code has no inherently meaningful value (endian or otherwise); it   
   should not be mixed in with "landmark" geographical values in any way.   
   Reworking the postal code(s) is also something I pondered a few years

   It's entirely impossible to determine that based on the address given.   
   For example, it's possible that John Doe is the only person who occupies   
   #120, and everything in between is mere moot-endian formality.
