  • Publication number: 20190244217
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting entity migration. A method is provided for receiving container information for all known addresses in the United States. The container information can include address records, person or business entities associated with the address records, and temporal information associating the entities with the address records. The method includes determining, with one or more special-purpose computer processors in communication with a memory, migration data based on the container information. The method includes extracting metrics from the migration data. The metrics can include velocity of migration data; simultaneous movement of individuals within a predetermined time period; distance moved; and/or age of the person or business entities. The method can include determining, based at least in part on outliers associated with the metrics, one or more indicators of fraud; and outputting, for display, the one or more indicators of the fraud.
