Why is demographics ("allocate input-Spatial Match") returning same values for multi radiu

[Rujin05]

Hi!

I used Allocate Input to get # of Households in the US, then matched with 19 (target stores) trade areas.

I set 10, 5, 2 miles for trade areas scope, and used "Spatial Match" module to match them.

The total # households are the same for 3 radius. Do you know why that may be?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you try with different radiuses? Maybe if you will go with 0.2 0.5 1 you will get different results. 

Maybe those points are really close to each other.

Hi! Thank you. Just tried, the numbers are still the same...

Hi @Rujin05 

I am not very proficient with spatial tools but maybe you should check other options for the spatial match.

What is your configuration there?

Hi!

I used "where target intersects Universe". Tried other options, didn't work/returned 0 .....

Hi Emil, now I know! 

Because I should choose "Trade area spatial" instead of "store spatial" as the Target input. If I change that, results will change.

Well done! @Rujin05
