Additional Information

Although a point address location may have an X, Y location, X, Y coordinates are not necessarily synonymous with a specific point address. The locator search logic for reverse geocoding has changed between 2017 Release 3 (the older locators) and the 2018 Release 2 (new locators). The search logic went from finding the most detailed address candidates within your search area, in this case, point addresses, to finding the best match (closest to your X, Y location regardless of level of detail - street address, street intersection, postal, etc.)
