The news I watched this evening said "2.9 billion records" and "potentially billions of people" which is a fairly accurate conclusion without having run any sort of query on the data. Null values are a thing too.
- yuliyp 2y agoit's a dataset of information about people in the US (given it comes from US public records), of which there are far less than a billion. There's no possible way it could be "billions of people". That conclusion requires no querying of the data.
- kube-system 2y agoSome have reported it contains data for people outside of the US. It may also have people who are not currently living in the US.
- yuliyp 2y agoSure it might contain some such data, but I strongly doubt that would be 60%+ of the dataset.
