20500 is the Zip Code, IMO

In some of the usa, the 5 digits can have many more after them, typical is=
another 4
digits, such as:
20500-3456
where the 3456 designates the route in the area.

There are three allowable (and standardized) formats for ZIP
codes in the United States. All three formats are usable
anywhere in the country; there is no regional usage of ZIP codes.
Format 1: Area only - this is the "traditional" five-digit ZIP
code that represent the original implementation of the Plan.
Note that it is always exactly five digits; leading 0 is not
dropped.
Format 2: Carrier Routing - this is the so-called "ZIP+4" code -
the Area-only code is followed by a hyphen and four digits
indicating which carrier route the address is on. This is
supposed to speed sorting. Carrier Routing with leading zeroes
generally indicates box numbers at the Post Office indicated by
the five-digit code (e.g., 10001-0001 indicates PO Box 1, New
York, NY 10001).
Format 3: Address Routing - This adds an additional three digits
to the Carrier Routing ZIP+4 code. The first two digits of the
three are the last two digits of the house number; the third
digit is the "residue-ten" of the other eleven digits. This is
rarely used; the only usage I have seen to date was Census forms
and IRS forms mailings. To compute the "residue-ten", add up all
of the digits, take the last digit of the result, and subtract it
from ten. Example: Assume that the carrier route for 1600
Pennsylvania Ave, Wash. DC is 1015. This makes the ZIP+4 code
20500-1015. To this, we add the last two digits of the address
number: 20500-101500. To compute the "residue-ten", we compute
2+0+5+0+0+1+0+1+5+0+0, which is 14. The last digit of 14 is 4;
we subtract 4 from 10 and get 6, so the last digit is 6:
20500-1015006.

etc, etc.
Makes me happy I live in a nice, logical country =)
We've nothing so complex in Canada. Our postal codes seem a lot simpler to
deal with (ie: V0R 2W0, T6H 0P2), with the first three characters
representing the region (Vancouver Island and South Edmonton in the
examples), and the last three, the code for the specific post office that
deals with the mail (Shawnigan Lake and Office #71 in the examples).

In the early days of Canadial postal codes there were a few codes (eg. T0K
0Y0 ) which mysteriously caused mail to go astray. Or is that an urban
myth?

You have got to be kidding. What is that, numerology of some flavor?

What this actually resembles is the formula used to compute UPC-A check =
digits (the last digit of the familiar bar code).
