To a degree yes, there is no public resource to lookup that information. There are however brokers who deal in that data however the quality is questionable (e.g. I routinely receive fliers in the mail at my new address from house flippers who wish to purchase my old property).
People in the US consider their address to be private information even if it is easily obtainable.

- icedchai 9y agoCell numbers are often harder to Google. However, if I google my own, I do find a link to a third party site that has my full name and home address available for free.
