Utah/Salt Lake City is covered under appendix D of the US Postal Service addressing standards (unusual addressing situations) [1]. What you're describing is a problem with their reverse geocoding algorithm. It used to be that you could grab the US Census tigerline data, which had every road segment in America along with the starting and ending addresses that were on that road segment, and get a really good location for any American address. But the tigerline data is not updated super duper frequently and your average BigCo wants to serve the whole entire world, so they've all (probably) gone to their own algorithms and data sources, and software engineers love to make assumptions, and... well, you see what happens. As someone who also lives at an address covered by appendix D, I feel the pain from time to time. Many "we only hire the absolute best" tech companies do not believe my house exists, while all those lame and boring others that just rely on the USPS validator have no problem whatsoever.
