ARCGIS: Exporting data by search: Is it possible to export enrichment data by a search?

RichardChai — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 23:55:03 GMT

I'm looking to see if there's a possibility to search specific data from a specific address, such as the population in a three mile radius.

Normally in ARCGIS, I would need to enter the address, create a circular buffer of 3 miles, and then enrich that data layer to extract population information.

Since I am only interested in the population number, would it be possible to query this search through an API and get the returned number?

Hi Richard,

Not an API query solution, but here's a workflow in ArcGIS Online's Map Viewer Classic that may be slightly simpler than what you were suggesting.

1. Open a map, and use the address search in the top right to find the address of interest.
2. In the Search result pop-up, click Add to Map Notes to make a temporary feature at that point.

3. Go to Analysis > Data Enrichment > Enrich Layer, and set your input layer as your new Map Notes layer

4. Select your desired population variables, and then define your enrichment area using a Line distance of 3 miles (No need to create a buffer ahead of time!)
If you have network analysis privileges, you could even define this area to enrich based on travel modes such as a driving time or walking distance if you were interested in leveraging the road networks
