Keys are 256 bit in length and are hashed in a 160 bit address.(2^160th power) Divide it by the world population and you have about 215,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 addresses per capita.(2.15 x 10^38)

That means that each single key may correspond roughly to 2256 / 2160 = 296 addresses, right? So in fact addresses  are not unique in their nature cuz bunches of them have the same private keys.
