Same here in the US. A 5-digit zip code narrows it down to a
neghborhood within a city, and a full 9-digit zip code is
shared with perhaps 5-10 houses -- generally I believe it
identifies one side of a one-block section of a street in a
single-family-home residential area. In apartment or office
buildings a 9-digit zip code generally identifies a specific
floor in a specific building. Most companies of any size have
their own zip code (or codes). My company only has ~40
employees, and we have our own unique zip code.
