Hello,
I am working with a polygon file and want to get an average distance value to multiple points for each polygon. Conceptually I have tried multiple things to tackle this problem, such as the Multiple Ring Buffer tool, the Point and Kernel Density tools, and the Near and Generate Near Table tools. None of these approaches gave the appropriate result. The Generate Near Table tool supposedly would be able to take into account multiple distances if the Find only closest feature (optional) is unchecked. Though still only one distance per polygon was generated in the table:


The Near tool would give suboptimal results if it was working properly, though with this tool I have some issues as well. As you can see in the screendump below some polygons that are positively more isolated have receive lower distance values than polygons that are closer to the points:

Do any of you know what I am doing wrong with both Near tools or do you know a better way to tackle this problem?
Greetings Rens
