When you enter an address in Google Maps it searches Google's vast database of addresses around the world. The source of addresses include third-party sources (e.g. the Yellow Pages, White pages), data submitted directly by local business owners, etc.
Google states up front that some addresses are not roof-top accurate and describe this as the result of how addresses are matched up to an exact position on the earth. Google relies on a technique called "address interpolation," which is a fancy way of saying that they take a best guess. More specifically, the algorithm looks at the total number of addresses in a given block and assumes an even distribution of the addresses along that block.
For example, if there are ten addresses for the 800th block of Main Street, it assumes that the fifth address is located at the halfway point.
