I live in an area where houses didn't get addresses unless they were inside a city. The fire services developed an addressing scheme that encoded location and used that. Eventually the postal service adopted it as official in the 1960s [1]. I'm surprised that this hasn't already happened in Carmel (not that they would use the same system, just that the fire department didn't already have an unofficial numbering system).
