How to add survey data to a map in ArcMap GIS?

[Sami_Alwulayi_LearnArcGIS]

Hello,

I have data that I collected from a survey that contains qualitative data (ordinal/nominal) and includes the participant’s residential neighborhood, 800 participants distributed over 50 residential neighborhoods. I would like to conduct a spatial analysis of the data by using ArcMap, specifically for a variable consisting of two categories (WTP) and a variable consisting of four categories (price). The data is available for neighborhoods, including average income, population density, average family size, and other data.

My first question: Is there a way to add survey data to the map other than in the form of points, because I do not know where exactly the participants live within the neighborhood?

My second question is: What spatial analysis methods are available in the case of my data?

Thank you.

Adding data to a map for spacial analysis when you don't have location data will be rather difficult. You could always use something more generic, like Postal Code or Neighbourhood. But be warned that this will create generalized data (e.g., multiple points appearing in the same spot).

Assuming you have anything to work off of (e.g., something general like Postal Code), you can still preform most spatial queries. You will just need to do so on a larger scale than if you had more precise data. What that larger scale is will be is dependent upon your data spread.

Of course, if you have nothing to go off of, then spatial queries will not be possible.
