> non-public residential addresses
What is a "non-public" address? All addresses are public information. It is not at all clear what you're protecting and from whom; there is a distinct lack of a coherent threat model.

Everyone knows the address on your DL and vehicle registrations is basically public record, it’s sold to data brokers and is searchable. Same with any property held directly. This is why you have a holding company own the properties, and keep your name off the public records for the holding company.
Utilities might still be in your name, however, as not everyone knows how to obtain those under aliases or remembers to have their staff do it for them. They often want credit checks on a normal person for non-commercial service plans, or for residential addresses.
App location histories, mobile service location histories, Uber trip logs, food delivery order history, all of these are potential vectors for leakage, too.
There’s a big gap between “wealthy enough to be able to pay for some measure of privacy/safety for one’s family” and “wealthy enough to warrant spending salaries for three shifts of armed guards 24/7/365”.
Also, what do you think will happen if someone learns you live at a particular address? Literally what risk is there?
It’s not just data brokers who can search DL/vehicle data. It only costs a few bucks to access it. That’s their whole business model.
I know people who have been swatted, had their vehicles smashed, their children threatened, their houses shot up or vandalized or broken into, mail or packages stolen, et c. Fortunately I don’t personally know of any kidnappings or home invasions, but such an attack enables same for a sufficiently determined attacker.
People at risk like this either take steps to keep their residential addresses non-public, or hire 24/7 security forces, or both.
