"Woonplaats" is the city or town you live in. "Adres" is usually the street name and house number. In particular, this is a distinction you might find on forms. In everyday language, "adres" often includes the "woonplaats", as well as the postcode (aka zip/postal code).

In American English, the city, state, and ZIP code (postal code) are usually assumed to be part of the address. 'Street address' implies just the house number and street, and 'place of residence' would get some quizzical looks, because it's assumed to mean the same thing as 'address/home address'.

I just assumed one was a "mailing address" and the other was "home." Thanks!

The audio has the w in "uw" pronounced, so it sounds like "u wadres". Is this wrong?
There's a natural flow between uw and adres. So yes it is possible that at normal speed you hear uwadres or something similar.
