geolocation: finding addresses of people on a street

I've looked at several of the geolocation providers (google, yahoo, etc.) and have been unable to find data that I expected to be readily available: all residential addresses along a given street.

An example query would be: 

"return a list of the residential addresses on 'mystreet, mycity, mystate' within a 1000 meter radius"

Did I miss something obvious or are the providers who can do this (e.g. spokeo.com) using their own data?

TIA

You can use OpenStreetMap for your task. For example this query returns all addresses belonging to the street Prager Straße in the city Dresden. It uses overpass turbo to visualize the data and the Overpass API in the background for running the actual query. Of course you can also run the query directly for returning raw data. If you want to modify the query conditions take a look at all commonly used address tags. To modify the query take a look at the Overpass API language guide.
