Okay sorry. Worldwide we have about 16 million addr:housenumber tags and about
15 million addr:street tags. So there is no addr:street for about 1 mio
housenumbers.  Presumably thats because they are members in an associatedStreet
relation. (It could also be because it is easy to find the right street,
because it is the one next to the house, but lets ignore those cases.) So
its still less than 10%.
