I compiled hundreds of government address data sources, cleaned them up, and build a 35GB indexed SQLite database of over 150 million addresses. Each address has a house number, USPS-formatted street name, city, state, postal code, latitude, longitude, and source attribution.

There's a "lite" version that's about 14GB smaller because the latitude, longitude, and source columns have been dropped.

Here's a page with all the info and downloads:

Collections of facts are not considered creative work and are public domain under U.S. copyright law, which means you can do whatever you want with this data. All I ask in return is you pay what it's worth to you, even if that's $0.

I started this endeavor because I didn't want to pay Google for address autofill services on my websites, but I'm sure you can think of something else to do with it too! As far as I know, this database is the most complete and cleaned up one you can get without paying an undisclosed and large sum of money.
