Nearly half a million Americans call Main Street home

It’s associated with storybook tales, smalltown feels and Disneyland. But Main Street is actually where nearly half a million American residents call home. ATTOM Data Solutions released a report recently that studied the most common residential addresses in the U.S. and found that Main Street is the most widely used street name nationwide. Approximately 485,000 addresses are located on Main Street.

Narrowing it down ever further, there are 406 properties with a 201 Main St. address, making it the most widely used location in the U.S. Coincidentally, in second place was 2nd Street with 207,899 addresses nationwide. First Street was the eighth most common address.

But sharing an address with someone else isn’t all that common, according to the report. In fact, 99.99 percent of all properties have a completely unique address.

Meanwhile, conforming no-point 30-year fixed mortgage rates are averaging 3.0 percent and 15-year rates are near 2.25 percent.
