1. A method comprising:
- initializing a first home address of a user of a mobile device;
periodically identifying a monthly address of the user of the mobile device based on location data generated by the mobile device during a respective month;
updating a physical address of the user from the first home address to a second home address in response to the monthly address being identified as the second home address for two months over a period of three consecutive months; and
applying a timestamp to said updating the physical address based on a first month within the three consecutive months where the mobile device resides at the new address.

13. A system for determining a user has moved based on mobile device location comprising:
-
application software configured to initialize a physical address for a user of a mobile device during a first month period, including instructions configured to cause a processor to; receive a plurality of location data from a mobile device throughout the first month period; organize the plurality of location data into a plurality of clusters, the clusters corresponding to geographic regions visited by the mobile device during the first month period; and calculate a score for each cluster, the score representing a likelihood that the user of the mobile device resides at the address within the cluster during the first month period, wherein the physical address corresponds to the cluster having the highest score; and a memory including instructions configured to cause the processor to evaluate, on a monthly basis, a location of the month of the mobile device during months subsequent the first month period and update the physical address to the second address as of a timestamp based on evaluation of the location of the month being a second address that is different than the physical address for two months of a three-month period, wherein the timestamp is based on a first month within the three-month period where the mobile device resides at the new address. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
