Does the first two digits have some special meaning like what village you're in or something like that?

Usually, the street numbers indicate how far you are from the center of a city. There is an imaginary line that runs north and south and another that runs east and west. Addresses that are north or south are that far north or south of the center line that runs east/west. For example, 4112 North Some St. would be 4.1 ish miles north of the east/west center line of the city. It’s also probably 41 “blocks” north…although not all the blocks are necessarily used for anything. So, the next block north of the 4112 North Some St. address would be 42## Some St.
