How it's used
While 位址 is standard for digital addresses or technical coordinates, it is rarely used in casual conversation to refer to a physical place. Most locals prefer using 地方 or 地址 when talking about where someone is or where a shop is located. Using 位址 in a casual setting can sound overly formal or like you are reading from a computer interface.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 地址, which is the standard term for a postal or residential address. Using 位址 to ask for someone's home address will sound unnatural and overly technical.
