Addresses

The following applies to addresses in the United States. Addresses in other countries should be presented in a style consistent with the postal requirements of that country. The correct way to present U.S. addresses is not determined by the style guides of 澳门六合彩官网直播 or the Associated Press, but by the requirements and preferences of the U.S. Postal Service.

Use the standard U.S. Postal Service abbreviations below for addresses, whether used in text or block address form.

As a general guide, the inclusion of a ZIP code makes it an address; the omission of a ZIP code makes it a location. (See also state abbreviations.)

Locations (no ZIP code present)

Associated Press Style is used for the listing of locations. Use the abbreviations Ave., Blvd. and St. with a numbered location: 2210 Wilbur Ave. Spell them out and capitalize when part of a formal street name without a number: Wilbur Avenue. All similar words鈥攁lley, drive, road, terrace鈥攁re always spelled out. Abbreviate compass points used to indicate directional ends of a street or quadrants of a city in a numbered address: 1903 W. Michigan Ave. Do not abbreviate if the number is omitted: West Michigan Avenue. Do not use periods in quadrant abbreviations鈥擭W, SE: 2333 E. Beltline Ave. SE.
