How the Fraud Index works: Equifax regularly scans millions of records for instances of reported fraud. Each month, our experts aggregate this information and translate it into an index of "high" to "low" by zip code (normalized for population differences). The data is also segmented across limited demographics (gender, income, age, and Equifax credit score bands). Then this data is imported into this dynamically searchable map. You can perform unlimited searches of the Equifax Fraud Index at the national, state, county, and zip code levels. The Fraud Index is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as legal, financial,or professional advice of any kind. Your use of the Fraud Index is subject to this web site's Terms of Use.
