If we could get away with only survey 1 point every 100km we would have already have finished earth some years ago and be onto the next planet.... I suspect you will need to survey which houses are nearest each road junction plus any gaps, I suspect surveying a few points every 100m is going to be nearer what you need. With or without having code to extrapolate house numbers. 100km is the distance from hmm Washington to Baltimore or London to Oxford (give or take) if your going to only survey a few points in that distance, I think we have more points already in the database.
