As you go south, they increase in a likewise manner. Same thing as you go east or west from the north-south street where that numbering starts.
Bonus information: House numbers on one side of the street will be even numbers, and on the other side...odd numbers!

I've been in most every major city in the USA and I've never seen a system like that. Street #'s may increase in that way, not house numbers. Every city/town adopts it's own numbering system, based on convenience and safety. If a house/building number consist of more than 3 or 4 numbers, the preceding numbers are likely a "grid #" of one sort or another.
