Is this a good scenario for hot spot analysis or is there a better way?

We are collecting data for a community revitalization product and are rating public utilities from 1 being the worst, to 4 being in great condition. I was wondering how I could best show the county our results if they want a map to tell them "there are a lot of 1's in this area, but over here things look pretty good."

Are you mapping points? or polygons?

For polygons, you could derive your own scheme

dominantly 1

dominantly 2

dominantly 3

etc

where you define dominantly as X% (maybe >50%

if needed, you could have combined classes

1 & 2

etc

I suppose it depends on your data

They are points. I was thinking of putting all the points into one layer and creating my own scheme, then the hot spot idea came to mind.

Hi Matthew,

FYI, you may want to take a look at Survey123 for ArcGIS - a form-centric data collection app (including with an ArcGIS Online organization or ArcGIS Enterprise). You can easily collect feedback from the community; you could set one question to ask them to rate a utility condition(s). These different categories will appear in a web map when the feature layer is displayed.
