When creating a Locator with a 'Point Address' role, there is an option to allow for address point reference records which cover an address number range, ie 'House Number From' and 'House Number To'.
When using the created Locator, a searched address number may be matched to these ranges. For example, a search for '46 SMITH ST' may match to a reference address record of '44-48 SMITH ST', since the searched number falls within the range.
In regions such as Australia and the US, addresses are usually arranged so that Odd numbers are on one side of the street, and Even numbers on the other side. This means that a house number range should only include numbers of one type (odd or even). For example, range 44-48 should include the numbers 44, 46, and 48 only. It should NOT include 45 or 47.
Currently, ArcGIS Pro allows for matches within the range, but does not apply the logic of odd/even matching. When a match is made in this way, the reported match score is 100.0, and the search process appears to halt.
In cases where two ranges exist, eg 44-48 and 45-49, a search for 45 may match (incorrectly) to range 44-48, with a match score of 100.0, and with no other suggested match nominations. This places the record '45' on the incorrect side of the street, and in the incorrect location.
It is suggested Esri implement this odd/even logic for matches to house number ranges in Point Address Locators.
