• Two new Spatial Analyst tools in ArcGIS Pro 3.6— Value Percentile Contours and Volume Percentile Contours— turn any continuous density surface to  percent-based polygons to produce actionable intelligence in one single step.
• Value Percentile Contours outlines the footprint of the highest values by area to reveal where the extremes spread— ideal for short-term, tactical action.
• Volume Percentile Contours delineates the smallest area that contains a specified share of the whole  to reveal where it concentrates— ideal for stable, long-term strategy.
