Anyone asking for your full address is a job application isn't usually legit either. Just don't. You can give that to a BG check company after an offer is made and accepted.

where I live, there is a street near mine that is locally famous for being a trouble making poor area.

Felony Flats is one of the nicer nicknames that neighborhood has. The street I live on is also famous, but it is famous for being the road with the old historical houses and generally upper class atmosphere, the popular walkway/trail runs alongside it.

Everything being equal and it came down to splitting hairs, if someone was to see the street names and addresses and knows the area, they would absolutely give me an opportunity vs my neighbor of just a few blocks away.

Please tell me there's also a Misdemeanor Manor somewhere in your city.
