Is it possible to create a mapbook with alternating data frames (and alternating layers) for each page? The extent will remain the same. The index layer would read 1 A-B, 2A-B, 3A-B, etc. Page 1A would have a topographic base map layer and page 1B would be an aerial layer and would continue on as such. I could certainly do two different mapbooks and then arrange them but this is a hassle and I want to ensure the pages are labeled correctly. Is this an arcpy.mapping task? Scott

Raulen, Take a look at the below link to the 10.1 Help which details how Business Analyst summarizes data. In the most basic sense it uses a 'centroid in or out' approach. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Data_tab/000z000000v7000000/ Regards, Jason R. Jason, Thanks for the response. I reviewed that Help page previously but I'm not sure it specifically addresses my problem. From the Help page: "Different methods are provided to more accurately retrieve data. This is important when a trade area cuts across a demographic layer." In this situation I'm not actually cutting across a demographic layer. The Census provides full counts of race, age, gender demographics to the block level and the area I'm looking at is a collection of full blocks. Since I'm looking at fairly small service areas (in some cases 6 or 7 census blocks), I'm using the Census provided race and age breakdowns to check the accuracy of Business Analyst so I know how reliable the BA data is with regards to variables the Census doesn't provide at the block level (Household Income, Median Age, Home Value). What seems strange is that some of the data from BA is often exact (Total Population Count, Housing Units, Households) while other data can be fairly different (Race, Age Cohorts, Gender Percentages, Group Quarter Population) compared to the Census.

I'm attempting to collect demographic data for neighborhoods surrounding city parks and I'm getting conflicting data. I've delineated the neighborhood boundaries following the census blocks but the data provided by the Census at the block level is different than what Business Analyst is generating. Does BA use a weighted aggregation approach even if the area doesn't cut across blocks (and therefore an estimate isn't needed)? The population count and number of households is correct pretty much every time but the rest of the data is usually off (race and age primarily). Thanks,
