TIGER primary feature names are read from compressed feature-name databases for each county and Census vintage. If not already present, compressed addrfeat (address feature) shapefiles are downloaded from the Census FTP site to the addr user data directory.
When reading into R, the data is filtered to addressable MTFCCs (S1100, S1200, S1400, S1640) that have a name.
