As an aside, other countries can have considerably smaller post code areas than US or UK. For example, here's the size of a typical Swedish post code, probably less than a thousand people: https://www.hitta.se/kartan!~57.68616,11.91682,16z/tr!i=5N3q01sC/search!i=2001232518!q=41452%2C%20G%C3%B6teborg!t=single!st=plc!ai=2001232518!aic=57.68787:11.91388 https://www.hitta.se/kartan!~57.68616,11.91682,16z/tr!i=5N3q...

Sweden is weird. I have recently moved here. After two months I googled my name and, surprise, my address, birthdate, home ownership, phone number, people coliving with me, car and other information was all there. I understand it's for a reason (see here https://hejsweden.com/en/swedish-privacy-personal-information/ https://hejsweden.com/en/swedish-privacy-personal-informatio...) and I respect it, but I wonder how long it will take until someone makes bad usage of these data.

English postcodes have two parts. Here's an example: GL52 2SE The GL52 part covers large parts of Cheltenham. https://www.postcodes-uk.com/GL52-postcode-district https://www.postcodes-uk.com/GL52-postcode-district But the full post code GL52 2SE covers only 8 addresses in Albion Street. The full post code covers from KwikFit up to 132. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Albion+St,+Cheltenham+GL52+2SE/@51.8989323,-2.0688246,3a,75y,96.29h,90.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sARTo2RT5FY4I4hNYEhOItQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x48711b9595eb534d:0x3f8d4e355f3228e6!8m2!3d51.8989702!4d-2.0685344 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Albion+St,+Cheltenham+GL...

  Someone I know has 2 postcodes for their house. You can probably trace that person on that fact.
