Geocoding is typically preceded by the data cleaning step of preprocessing and standardizing the format of the data. It is a crucial part of developing a GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
This dataset contains a list of 234 valid complete USA addresses that can be used to fetch geocode.
This dataset will come in very handy for testing purposes. Such as - testing performances of geocoding services or API
