Systems and methods are provided herein for multi-pass duplicate identification using sorted neighborhoods. Data comprising a plurality of data records is received. Neighborhood records are generated by merging the plurality of data records with reference records stored in a remote data store. A resource identification field is assigned to each reference record. A pair distance, for each pair of neighborhood records having different resource identification fields, is determined by calculating a standard deviation of distances between each attribute of the pair scaled by a filled pairs quote value. Possible duplicate records are identified by evaluating each pair distance against a threshold, each possible duplicate having grouped attributes. Final duplicate records are identified by matching each group to a key.
