Streetonomics : What our addresses say about us
By Richard Fisher13th July 2021
From unseen gender bias to hidden historical patterns, you can tell a lot about where you live by looking at the names of the streets.

One day, the writer and lawyer Deirdre Mask was lost somewhere in West Virginia. She had borrowed her father s car to drive to the home of an acquaintance, equipped with complicated directions. What made it particularly difficult was that the man she intended to visit had no address. His street lacked a name, and his house had no number.
As Mask would discover, many residents in that West Virginia county were in a similar situation. They d pick up their mail at the post office. And if directions were required, they d talk of landmarks instead: turn at the stone church, go past the factory, left at the drive-in restaurant, and so on.
