Real, Random Address Data (RRAD)

This is a list of real, random addresses that geocode successfully (tested on Google's Geocoding API service). The address data comes from the OpenAddresses project, and all the addresses are in the public domain. The addresses are deliberately not linked to people or businesses; the only guarantee is that they are real addresses that geocode successfully.

The addresses were pulled from OpenAddress where the "Required attribute" field was present and not "Yes". See "Attribution" below for a list of sources (also included in each data file).

Usage

The data is packaged into randomly-ordered files of varying sizes:

Filename Address Count Size
addresses-us-all.json 3,220 969k
addresses-us-all.min.json 3,220 493k
addresses-us-1000.json 1,000 304k
addresses-us-1000.min.json 1,000 155k
addresses-us-500.json 500 154k
addresses-us-500.min.json 500 79k
addresses-us-250.json 250 79k
addresses-us-250.min.json 250 41k
addresses-us-100.json 100 34k
addresses-us-100.min.json 100 18k

Each package is an object with two properites, addresses and attribution. addresses is an array of addresses, each of with with the form:

{
    "address1": "203 East Gwinnett Street",
    "address2": "",
    "city": "Savannah",
    "state": "GA",
    "postalCode": "31401",
    "coordinates": {
        "lat": 32.06637,
        "lng": -81.093895
    }
},

For example, to get a random address:

const addresses = require('./rrad/addresses-us-all.min.json').addresses
const randomAddress = addresses[Math.floor(Math.random() * addresses.length)]

You may also install this package via npm, though it is a large package since it contains all the data sets. Usage:

npm install --save-dev rrad

Or

yarn add -D rrad

Then, to get a random address:

const rrad = require('rrad')
const randomAddress = rrad.addresses[Math.floor(Math.random() * rrad.addresses.length)]
