Posted on Feb 16, 2007 by Tom Fragala
On February 14, ID Analytics, Inc. released a new research study on identity theft and geography in the U.S. Here are some tidbits of interest from their press release.
The ten states with the highest rates of identity fraud are:
1. New York
2. California
3. Nevada
4. Arizona
5. Illinois
6. Hawaii
7. Oregon
8. Michigan
9. Washington
10. Texas
When examined at a 3-digit zip code level, the ten metropolitan areas with the highest identity fraud rates are:
1. New York, NY
2. Detroit, MI
3. Los Angeles, CA
4. Little Rock, AR
5. Greenville, MS
6. Atlanta, GA
7. Phoenix, AZ
8. Portland, OR
9. Dallas, TX
10. Springfield, IL
By the way, ID Analytics is one of those companies that punches above its weight class. Did you know that if you have filled out an application for virtually any financial account, they more than likely have a copy of it in their database? Over 70% of credit card companies voluntarily submit data to them and they have a database of hundreds of millions of applications. In their own words, "Each and every day, ID Network Members contribute millions of identity-level data elements sourced from account applications, non-monetary transactions and customer-submitted payments."
