Query Demographic data to get the location with the highest population

MohamedNabil

Hi,

How to use demographics data in ArcGIS JavaScript APIs to get the locations with the highest population in a pre-defined area.

i.e. I want to get the top 10 locations with the highest population inside New York City

Many Thanks.

When you say custom blocks - are you not using the blocks provided by the Census? You can easily get this info from them:

http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER_DP/2011ACS/2011_ACS_5YR_BG_36.gdb.zip

Here's the metdata:

You would want to look at B01001e1, which is total population.

Thanks Chris.

My area is a custom Block layer (Polygon layer) and I need with somehow intersect this layer with demographic data then get the top 10 blocks from the population perspective.

I just want to get the names or IDs of the blocks without drawing them on map.

Well, that's a loaded question. What is your pre-defined area type? County? Zip? Census Block/Tract? Do you just need to know the fips codes/names for the top 10 areas and their population and/or do you need to see it on a map?
