His address is Scrooge McDuck, 1313 Quack Street.
It's mentioned in panel 1.4 of "The Interplanetary Postman" (US 53).

Not to be mistaken for Stooge McDock, 1313 Quick Street,
mentioned in the previous panel.

Donald's address is
Mr. Donald Duck, 13 Quack Street, Duckburg.
Do not mistake Donald Duck's address for
Mr. Donald Dock, 1113 Quack Street...
According to the old fox story (US 6), panel 9.6, the address
of Scrooge's *house* is 33 B Street.

In the atlantis story (US 5), Donald's address is 1313 Webfoot Walk.
   


And then there's the license plate of Donald's car, 313.

So, does anyone who knew Barks know why he seemed to like 13's and 3's,
other than the obvious one of 13 supposedly being an unlucky number?
(Is Scrooge's B Street address a little Sherlock Holmes Baker Street
reference?)
