Suspicious reporting activity

Signals, not scores. Filing volume is not proof of criminal activity or a jurisdiction risk rating.

State counts generally reflect where reported activity occurred. A filing may contain multiple locations.
02 / READ THE SIGNAL

Useful context before conclusions

The atlas makes public reporting patterns easier to explore while keeping the limits of the underlying data visible.

01

Reporting intensity is not crime intensity.

SARs and STRs record suspicion reported by regulated entities. Higher volumes can result from a larger customer base, stronger controls, sector concentration or different filing practices.

02

Location means different things.

FinCEN generally maps where activity occurred, with fallback rules. FINTRAC’s open data locates the reporting entity. The two maps are informative but not directly equivalent.

03

Aggregation is deliberate.

Canada uses non-overlapping one-character postal groups to avoid double counting. Northwest Territories and Nunavut remain combined because both share the “X” prefix in this release.

04

Time coverage is explicit.

The USA view uses FinCEN’s 2014–2024 filing trend workbooks. Canada uses complete calendar years 2012–2023 from FINTRAC’s public monthly dataset.
