The Calculate Distance Band from Neighbor Count tool

The Calculate Distance Band from Neighbor Count tool returns the minimum, maximum, and average distance to the specified nth nearest neighbor. This tool requires several inputs including an input feature class, the number of neighbors to analyze, and the distance method. If the input feature class is a polygon or polyline, it will use the centroid of the feature as the input feature. This tool is used as a support tool when using the Hot Spot Analysis, Cluster and Outlier Analysis, and Spatial Autocorrelation tools. The maximum distance reported by the Calculate Distance Band from Neighbor Count tool can be used as an input to the Distance Band or Threshold parameter for these tools. In this exercise, you'll learn how to use the tool to generate the distance band for the Hot Spot Analysis tool.
