See the reporting landscape.Read the signal carefully.
Explore official suspicious reporting patterns across the United States and Canada, then add trade, predicate-related and sanctions context for the selected location.
Suspicious reporting activity
Signals, not scores. Volume is not proof of criminal activity or a jurisdiction risk rating.
Context for California
California state profile. These layers support investigation; they do not create a composite risk score.
Useful context before conclusions
The atlas makes public reporting patterns easier to explore while keeping source limits visible.
Reporting intensity is not crime intensity.
SARs and STRs record suspicion reported by regulated entities. More volume can reflect a larger customer base, controls, sector concentration or filing practice.
Location means different things.
FinCEN generally locates reported activity, with fallback rules. FINTRAC locates the reporting entity. The maps are useful but not directly equivalent.
Totals are not always unique filings.
A U.S. SAR can include multiple locations, institution types and activity selections. “All” views are displayed counts, not a deduplicated caseload.
Normalization is context, not a score.
U.S. county rates use 2025 population estimates or 2023 NAICS employer-establishment proxies. They are not counts of FinCEN reporting entities. Canada maps only exact three-character FSAs.
Trace every layer to its origin
Public, reproducible sources. No proprietary risk labels and no individual SAR or STR records.
