Population Density

Hi there,

I'm having three stores and for each stores I have Customers data including long/lat. I want to calculate the population density for each stores for the customers within 0-5 miles and 5-10 miles.

how can I do that ? is there any workflow for this case?

Hi @riam_abdullah you are correct in my example i'm treating every point as one single customer. However depends on your customer data you may want to count each customer if one point = 1 customer in each trade area or depending if you have a number of customer per point you might want to summarise. However the formula will always be people/miles as mentioned by you.

Hi @riam_abdullah I have mocked up a workflow that should work for you. Just replace the map inputs with your data and ensure you use the create points tool for your customer data.

Yes, this is definitely possible.

Convert the Lat/Long for the stores to a Spatial Object with the Create Points
Build a Trade Area (Tip: you can enter 5,10 and you'll get both trade areas)
- Note: Use a Spatial Info if you need the area...
Separately, Convert the Lat/Long for the customers to a Spatial Object with the Create Points
Spatial Match the stores with the customers
Aggregate using Summarize and formula to get your density

@JS420 Thanks for your fast reply, but are you sure from the formula? I thought it's Number of people/miles.
