In the context of a city, I guess it makes sense that this is fairly anonymous.
In my moderately more rural part of the world, where owning a home is much more common, a person's house is part of the public record, and very easy to look up.
Granted that doesn't work for people renting, but the number of people renting instead of owning drops pretty dramatically once you start looking at demographics older than 25-30 around here.
