Bitcoin Core does not have a concept of address balances.

It has a concept of a wallet balance. The wallet balance is the sum of the values of all the transaction outputs that are:

* Not serving as input to any (confirmed or unconfirmed) transactions that are not abandoned.
* Either:
  + Confirmed (at least one confirmation)
  + Unconfirmed, but produced by a transaction that we signed ourselves ("change").
