# Outerview Global Potholes Dataset

A large-scale geospatial dataset of potholes with latitude and longitude.

This dataset is part of Outerview’s mission to organize the world’s physical infrastructure and make it searchable.

---

## 🌍 Overview

- **Feature:** Potholes
- **Scope:** Global
- **Entries:** 29,000
- **Total Dataset:** 3M+ potholes (full dataset)
- **Formats:** Parquet / CSV / GeoJSON

This dataset represents a **subset of a larger 3M+ pothole dataset** generated and maintained by Outerview.

Each row corresponds to a real-world location.
