OpenAddresses is a directory of publicly available address lists provided by government agencies at various levels. It&#x27;s designed to be bulk imported by machine.<p>Many addresses exist in OSM. But there&#x27;s a preference from the OSM community that data be entered by users familiar with their areas, that they can verify on the ground. Imports have happened in OSM, such as the controversial TIGER import in the US years ago, and the NYC building dataset more recently. But these require a lot of effort and attention to manage well.
