Abstract: Techniques are provided for identifying a locations of application users based on originating address. Techniques to generate a set of address-to-location mappings include a system configured to receive information about a plurality of location-known requests that originated from an address, wherein the information indicates a plurality of locations for the originating address. The system is further configured to identify a geographical area based, at least in part, on the plurality of distinct locations; map the geographical area to a corresponding geographical locality; and associate the address to the geographical area and the corresponding geographical locality generating an address-to-location mapping. Address-to-location mappings may be further clustered into address-range-to-location mappings and stored as a data pack. Using these techniques, location information may be determined for a received location-unknown request that originated from a particular address.
