When we run a demographic analysis we look at multiple office sites, and in general we use a three mile ring as the assessment area. When the rings overlap (meaning the offices are within 3 miles of each other) we will combine the sites and consider them a combined market. We are currently combining the sites by outlining the 3 mile rings using the polygon tool. This can be time consuming depending on the number of offices that overlap and how accurately the outline is created (the further zoomed out the faster it can be done but the less accurate the polygon will be and vice versa).
Does anyone know of an easier way to accurately create a "market area" from multiple rings created from different offices.
Thanks.
