• storing, in a geographic location database, a plurality of point of sale data entries, wherein each point of sale data entry includes at least a point of sale identifier and a geographic location of the point of sale identifier;
• storing, in a transaction database, transaction data entries for a plurality of payment transactions, wherein each transaction data entry includes data related to a payment transaction including at least a point of sale identifier, an industry type, a time and/or date, and a consumer identifier;
• receiving, by a receiving device, a data request, wherein the data request includes information related to a target geographic area for which transaction data is requested;
• identifying, by a processing device, at least one point of sale identifier associated with a geographic location located within the target geographic area;
• identifying, by the processing device, at least one transaction data entry associated with the identified at least one point of sale identifier;
• classifying, by the processing device, the at least one identified transaction data entry associated with the at least one point of sale identifier into at least one consumer transaction set, wherein each consumer transaction set includes at least one transaction data entry and where all transaction data entries included in a single consumer transaction set include a common consumer identifier;
• calculating, by the processing device, a member estimation score for each consumer transaction set, wherein the calculation is based on at least the data related to the payment transaction included in each transaction data entry of the consumer transaction set.
