If you really wanna create a table named Address instead of creating a property named Address to generated as a column into AspNetUsers table do the following (obs: in this case i am assuming that a user can have many address):

1. At your Address class:

   public class Address
   {
       public string MyAddress { get; set; }
   
       // referencing the AspNetUsers table ( ApplicationUser.cs)
       public string UserId { get; set; }
       public virtual ApplicationUser User { get; set; }
   }
   

2. Your ApplicationUser Class:

   public virtual ICollection
    Addresses { get; set; }
   

3. Within your DBContext in OnModelCreating method do the following ( fluent API ):

   builder.Entity
   ()
                 .HasOne(c => c.User)
                 .WithMany(x => x.Addresses)
                 .HasForeignKey(f => f.UserId)
                 .HasConstraintName("UserId")
                 .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Cascade)
                 .IsRequired();
   

OBS: Don´t forget adding above the OnModelCreating method this line of code:

public DbSet
 Addresses { get; set; }

After it run those commands within your Package Manager Console:

Add-Migrations UserAddress

and after:

Update-Database. 

But, if you wanna just inclued a new property to the AspNet Users just create at your ApplicationUser.cs file/class this property:

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
    {
        public string Address { get; set; }
    }

and run the same commands for your PMC:

Add-Migration UserAddress

after:

Update-Database

Hope this helps!
