The NORANGE modifier is used with HOUSENO to match a house number within a range. For example, assume that ‘86’ is matched to the range 83-87; if the number is within the house number range, it returns a score of 98. Because 86 falls within the range of 83-87, a score of 98 is returned. For this modifier, the parity of the range is not relevant. For example, if the house range is odd (83-87), the matching house number does not need to be odd.
