Address Data

Address objects will look like the sample below. The data type of each field on an address object is a string. A list of addresses is an array of json objects.

Attempts have been made to verify addresses and ensure that street1, city, state, and zip are present on all records. Some lists may be shorter than others to avoid complexity or because of a lack of accurate data.

The following files can be found in the data directory.
