fakelocThe anatomy of a US address
Street, city, state, ZIP. Understand what each line does and make your forms work better.
Give every component a clear job
A US address usually separates the recipient, delivery line, and city/state/ZIP line. Keep the apartment or suite in a separate optional field. Store ZIP codes as text so leading zeros survive spreadsheet exports and database imports.

Test more than the happy path
Try a missing apartment, a long street name, an address with a directional prefix, and a ZIP starting with zero. A five-digit format match only checks syntax. It cannot confirm that a person lives at the address or that a carrier can deliver to it.
Keep city, state and ZIP together
Independent random fields create impossible combinations. fakeloc selects a city, region and postcode as one curated fixture, then generates the street. The resulting address is synthetic and still needs a separate verification service for any actual delivery.
