Most of Hammond's streets are laid out in a grid pattern similar to Chicago's streets. While Madison Street in Chicago acts as the reference point for north–south street numbering the first "1" is removed; this makes what would be a five digit address number in Illinois into a four digit address number in Hammond. The state line is used as the reference point for east–west street numbering.

Other cities and towns in Northwest Indiana that use the Hammond numbering system are [[Whiting, Indiana|Whiting]], [[Munster, Indiana|Munster]] and [[Highland, Lake County, Indiana|Highland]]. [[Dyer, Indiana|Dyer]] also uses the Hammond numbering system but the first number removed from the north–south streets is a "2," as by that point the Illinois numbers across the state line start with the number 2 (Munster's street numbers start with a "1" north of the Dyer line, making them 5 digits); and [[East Chicago, Indiana|East Chicago]] uses the canal located in the middle of the city as the east–west reference point, while embodying Hammond's numbering system for the north–south streets.
