Classifying point density based on proximity

[JustinOdell]

Hi everybody,

I have a point shapefile I wish to classify into density categories based on their proximity to one another.

For example:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22130[/ATTACH]

Does anybody have an idea which tools would be best suited to performing this task?
Is it possible to do with vector data, and not raster?

If you ran Point Density, then multiplied by the area of the neighborhood used, you'd get a count in the neighborhood for every cell in the output raster. This could then be transferred to your points using the Extract Values To Points tool.

On the vector side, you can use the Point Distance tool followed by Frequency. Both of these vector tools, however, require an ArcGIS Advanced (aka ArcInfo) license.
