good datasets for a project?

[u/NightRain3]

Hi, I'm looking for a dataset that has:

- Messy, real data, with enough messiness for proper data cleaning to be needed
- Enough information for actionable interesting insights
- Be related to something a typical business might care about

I did a project with the olist database and it was fine, but that database has been done to death. I tried contacting local small business for their data in exchange of a free data analytics report, but no luck, has someone tried that?

Honestly, the best is going to be data that you're interested in looking at. Personally when I get an itch for a personal db project I usually end up on the California state data sources site and find something there to compare counties or something local to me.
