I've lived to places in the USA where I could not be called to Jury 
duty... because the Court sent notices based a naive address match, but 
the property was actually in a different jurisdiction.

Note that the USPS recently lost a freedom of information act fight, and 
was forced to share post box data.  Perhaps other data can be FOI'ed out 
of them.
