The Community Analyst site say the that CA ca do the following: "Get information for the exact area you need—including standard geographies (down to the Census block group level), hand-drawn shapes, or rings or drive times around a location." What is the exact method used to do that?
For example, if I want the 2023 ACS population within 1/4 crow flight distance of a set of transit stops and some of the Census Blocks are only partially in these 1/4 mile buffers, how does it determine the population that is in the buffer area for that Block?
I am excited to have a tool that would not just do it by intersection-selection or area-interpolation, but instead by various dasymetric methods (e.g., using land cover, dwelling points, or building area).
