About
Real USA addresses designed for geocoding purposes. Geocoding involves converting text-based location descriptions, such as addresses, into geographic coordinates to pinpoint locations on Earth. This process is a vital part of developing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and typically follows a data cleaning and standardisation step. This particular dataset provides 234 valid, complete USA addresses, making it highly useful for testing the performance of geocoding services or APIs.
Columns
- address: This column contains the full address string. It features 234 unique and valid values, with no mismatched or missing entries. An example entry is "777 Brockton Avenue, Abington MA 2351".
- city: This lists USA city names. It includes 234 valid entries with 213 unique cities. "Mobile" is the most frequently occurring city, accounting for 3% of entries.
- state: This column specifies the USA state. There are 234 valid entries and 4 unique states. "AL" (Alabama) is the most common state, representing 43% of the entries.
- zip: This denotes the zip code for each address. All 234 entries are valid. The zip codes range from a minimum of 1020 to a maximum of 36.9k, with a mean value of 20k.
Distribution
This dataset is provided in three convenient file formats: text, CSV, and JSON. The CSV file,
list_of_real_usa_addresses.csv, has a size of 10.79 kB. It consists of 234 individual records, each detailing a complete USA address. The structure for each record includes four distinct components: the address string, city, state, and zipcode.Usage
This dataset is ideally suited for various applications and use cases. It can be used effectively for testing the performance and accuracy of geocoding services or APIs. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable resource for those involved in developing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and for implementing geocoding solutions.
Coverage
The geographic scope of this dataset is focused exclusively on addresses within the United States of America. Specific states, such as Alabama and New York, are notably represented, alongside other regions. The dataset does not specify a particular time range for when the addresses were collected, nor does it contain any demographic information or specific notes on data availability for certain groups or years.
