Abstract
Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for use in geolocation analysis. In one exemplary method, a computing device accesses boundary definitions associated with regions. For each region, the computing device determines a centroid of the region, having a location including a latitude and a longitude, based on an associated boundary definition, truncates the centroid location by deleting the latitude or longitude, and stores the truncated location as a partition key for the region. The computing device also accesses a transaction record, including a merchant point location having a latitude and longitude. The computing device truncates the point location by deleting the latitude or longitude, and identifies regions associated with the partition keys based on a comparison of the truncated point location to the partition keys. The computing device then determines whether the point location is included in one of the identified regions.
