house numbers
Facade numerical markers
House numbers are the numerals assigned to buildings along a street, used for mail delivery, navigation, and emergency services.
Odd numbers typically appear on one side of the street, even numbers on the other: What's your house number?
In informal speech, house numbers can mean a rough estimate or ballpark figure: Give me the house numbers on what this will cost.
