Just to be clear - you want to transfer the attributes of the census polygons to the points? What do you mean by 'the polygons do not show on the map'?  Do you mean they don't show on the map when you display the original census data on the map?  otherwise - if you mean where are the polygons in the output feature class then the target is points and only the attributes (not geometry - as it's either a point or a polygon, not both) of the join layer (census polygons) are transferred to the target point layer. i.e. I'm assuming you just want the census area attribute transferred to the points so I don't understand the 'polygons' not displaying part.  If they don't display from the outset - then that's the issue. You could run  a Check Geometry and Repair Geometry on both features, but I'd first reference your data in the Geoprocessing tool by selecting it from the file browser option or dragging from the Catalog pane.  This stops any layer issues such as definition queries/filters etc. I'd also look at your filenames and ensure they have no strange characters or spaces, and are stored as Geodatabase Feature Classes.  Also change the output file location to a local drive rather than OneDrive etc. and again make it a Feature Class inside a Geodatabase. I'd also be tempted to just use the 'Intersect' spatial relationship option rather than 'Within'   ... View more
