Thanks, Sephe, for your suggestion. I didn't go into the data I'll be using, but it's actually more specific than just block population data, so I do need to download Census data from the site and then map it in GIS as a polygon (this is not readily available in the Arc online layers).  If you or others know more about the "joining" process in the Online version, please let me know. Thanks, all. ... View more

My overall goal is to map 30 offices in the state of Virginia, draw a 40 mile boundary, and then calculate the percent (or total) population that falls outside of that threshold. I'd like to use Census block population data to do this, but I need to figure out a way to map the population data as a polygon, not as points.

If anyone has done something like this before and there is an easier way, please let me know, but I'm not seeing a way to do this through the ArcGIS Online version. Thank you in advance for your help! I'm really appreciative! ... View more
