The full address is PII. But a street level address isn't necessarily, if it points to an appt block.

The problem with the mail boxes is that you're leaking that a "Mr. Smith" is living at that address. Now with Mr. Smith this is not such a big problem but if you're looking for "Mr. LessUnique" then it is
