According to praxis or expirience, when one should normalize a table in parent-child tables related via PK-FK? What is the perecentage of redundancy of data in a table column when that table should be normalized in new related tables?

For example, if you have "Customer" table with column "Street" representing only the part of customer's address, there could be more rows with the same street but this is not so often and that column shouldn't be reformed in new table. So, what is the threshold when column with redundant data should be reformed in new child table?
