I also would like to store the area as a new column.&nbsp; This should be simple but I can't find a straight forward answer that works, I've referenced the <A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/return-geodesic-area-from-spatial-dataframe-area/td-p/1169322" target="_self">two</A> <A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/field-calculating-geometry-attributes-in-arcgis/td-p/1096697" target="_self">similar</A> posts.

I'm doing a bunch geoprocessing beforehand that I'm not showing, so I would like an updated calculation. I can do it in arcpy no problem but I am curious if the arcgis api has a way to do it.</P> Fri, 10 Jun 2022 17:45:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/how-to-calculate-area-for-each-feature-in-a/m-p/1181984#M7480 Josh-R 2022-06-10T17:45:52Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/how-to-calculate-area-for-each-feature-in-a/m-p/1181990#M7481 <P>You want to get a GeoSeriesAccessor and use <A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.features.toc.html#arcgis.features.GeoSeriesAccessor.area" target="_self">its&nbsp;area property</A>, maybe pipe that into a new field.</P><LI-CODE lang="python">sedf = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_featureclass(myShapeFile) gsa = arcgis.features.GeoSeriesAccessor(sedf['SHAPE']) # add column using insert sedf.insert(0, 'the_area', gsa.area, True) # alternatively, just add a new column at the end of the sedf sedf['the_area'] = gsa.area</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 10 Jun 2022 17:55:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/how-to-calculate-area-for-each-feature-in-a/m-p/1181990#M7481 jcarlson 2022-06-10T17:55:38Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/how-to-calculate-area-for-each-feature-in-a/m-p/1181997#M7482 <P>Exactly what I was looking for!
