Hey Community! 

I am trying to figure out the proper methodology to figure out how to choose the best Threshold Distance for my analysis of people across a small city for the Spatial Autocorrelation Moran's I tool. I have found several different suggested ways but they are not consistent and not Arc specific. Any suggestions? 

Thank you!

did you see Best practice guidelines in  How Spatial Autocorrelation (Global Moran's I) works—Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

and Selecting a fixed-distance band value in Modeling spatial relationships—Help | ArcGIS Desktop

Thank you! I had not found that page. Still not sure if I am choosing the right option but at least I have references for it now. Cheers!
