First thought...
I never, ever put my address on a resume.
Your metro area, sure. Your street address? Hell no.I won't put my phone number on either.
Might be missing something here, but if you don't put contact details on there, how do they contact you to give you an interview?
Most of the time you're filling out forms on a website and the resume is just an attachment. Not always though

Email is the appropriate contact method for random CVs. When, though, do you ever give out a CV to someone random who doesn't have your contact info? I've never, in 30 years in the industry, needed to hand out my CV instead of my contact information. Anyone with my CV always has my contact info. Not like I'm leaving it in dinners for random people to pick up. If someone is legit needing to reach me, email me for my phone number - on that crazy rare occasion that you got my CV from a public bulletin board and not from me or a headhunter.

That's most, but of the "others", can you think of any that don't involve a headhunter or email? I can't think of any non-contrived scenario where it would be needed. But it's not something you want floating around randomly.

Is the line stating references are available upon request needed? If a potential employer needs references, won't they ask unless they see that?

I don't think that it is, it's always assumed. There should always be references, and they should always be by request. As long as it all fits on one page, it's okay either way.

I wouldn't put references on the resume... that part comes much later and IMO has no place on resumes.

Agreed, I avoid anything that is obvious, unnecessary, redundant, etc. I keep the CV very lean, just the bits that matter.
