Free Sample Data for Testing

Always test your software with a "worst-case scenario" amount of sample data, to get an accurate sense of its performance in the real world.

These data files are of super high quality. See the description at the right. Included fields are:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Company
• Address
• City
• County (US only)
• State
• ZIP Code
• Phone
• Fax
• Email
• Web

All files are provided as CSV (comma-delimited).

Names are random, drawn from random first and last names in the US Census.

Addresses are real, and so should be useful for mapping, address validation, and other related purposes. City, County, State, and ZIP are correct for each address. United States only.

Company names are real, but are from a totally different part of the country than the address they are listed with.

Phone and fax numbers are random, but the area code and exchange for each are correct for their location.

Email and Web addresses are fake but properly formatted.

Records are in random order and cover the geographic US and Canada with a more or less even distribution.
