Hi,

I am working with a layer of parcels and a layer of agricultural land use.  I am trying to find what percentage of a parcel's boundary is in agricultural use.  So basically I want to take the distance of a parcel's perimeter that is coincident with the agricultural use boundary and divide it by the parcel's total perimeter to get the proportion of coincidence to agricultural land for that parcel.  I have tried numerous suggestions but can't seem to find any idea that works.

In the first attached screenshot image, the purple are the parcels and the blue is the agricultural land.  The second image shows just the parcels.  So by the looks of it, many parcels will probably end up being 100% coincident.  In the top middle parcel, for example, I want to find what percentage of the purple parcel's perimeter is coincident with the blue area's perimeter.  My estimate is that it would be about 60-70% for that parcel.  I hope this gives a good enough overview of what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any help!
