Count Places Near Point

blafreni — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:59:45 GMT

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I was wondering if it were possible to get a count of places near a point over the 200 limit? I don't need place details, just the count. For example, I want to know how many grocery stores are within a 15 minute drivetime of a spot. I don't really care about the specifics. Thanks for any help here.

So you would want to run either the make closest facility layer tool or the make service area layer tool in the network analysis ribbon or toolbox.

Running the make closest facility tool will create a layer that will create a line layer of all locations within a specified drivetime/distance.

Running the make service area tool will create a layer that will create a polygon that shows the area of a specified drivetime/distance. Then you can identify all potential points within that polygon.
