You generally have a major east-west street and north-south street near the center of a city. As you go north from the east-west street, the house numbers increase from 1 or some small number. 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!
Why wouldn't be a serious question? We have about 30 homes on our street in Mass. The house number begin with 2 and go up to 50. The remaining 20 numbers would be assigned to the empty lots if homes were to be built.
