Class 8: Basic Spatial Analysis

Today we had our second test.
We covered Chapter 9, Basic Spatial Analysis, in lecture. Then we had an hour of class time to work in the software, in Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop Chapters 10 & 11.
In Chapter 10, Selecting Features by Location, we scouted for possible locations for a small retail store in Riverview, CA. Neighborhoods were selected if they contained a shopping center and were within 0.5 mi of a freeway. Using census data, location possibilities were narrowed based on population and household income. The maps below show the outcome.
