Query demographic data

Learn how to query demographic information for locations around the world with the GeoEnrichment service.

The GeoEnrichment service provides information such as population and household size about geographic areas that you define. The enrich method provides the ability to get facts about a location or area. Using Enrich, you can get information about the people, places, and businesses in a specific area or within a certain distance of a point.

In this tutorial, you use ArcGIS REST JS to access the GeoEnrichment service to search for demographic data within one mile of a clicked point and display the data in a overlay panel.

Prerequisites

You need a free ArcGIS developer account to access your dashboard and API keys. The API key must be scoped to access the services used in this tutorial.

Steps

Create a new pen

To get started, either complete the Display a map tutorial or .

Set the API key

To access ArcGIS location services, you need an API key.

Go to your dashboard to get an API key.

In CodePen, update apiKey to use your key.

Change line
const apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY";
const basemapId = "ArcGIS:Streets";
const basemapURL = "https://basemaps-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/styles/" + basemapId + "?type=style&apiKey=" + apiKey;
olms(map, basemapURL);

Add references to ArcGIS REST JS

This tutorial uses ArcGIS REST JS to access the geoenrichment service. It also uses the ol-popup library to display pop-ups.

Add links to the ArcGIS REST JS and ol-popup libraries in the <script> section.

Update the map

The GeoEnrichment service has data sources for many countries around the world, including most of Europe. Update the position of the map to center on eastern Europe and the basemapId.

Update the center parameter to [18.88, 47.33] and set zoom to 5.

Add a click event handler

You need a location before calling the GeoEnrichment service. To get a location, you can add a handler to the Map's click event. The click handler will be called with an object containing a Coordinate.

You can change the mouse cursor to a crosshair to make it easier to click precisely. Modify the CSS style of its canvas element to do this.

In the <style> , set the mouse cursor style to crosshair.

Execute the query

You pass one or more study areas to arcgisRest.queryDemographicData to specify the location of your query. To query a circular buffer around a point, pass a geometry object with x and y parameters. The default search radius is one mile.

Inside the click handler, create a new arcgisRest.ApiKey to access the GeoEnrichment service. Call the service with an array containing a single geometry object containing the longitude and latitude, as the studyAreas parameter.

Display the results

If the query is successful, the response will contain a results array with a value containing a FeatureSet. The FeatureSet contains attributes such as population within the study area, the number of males and females, and the average household size. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for more details.

You will display the results of the query in a pop-up.

Before the click handler, create a Popup and save it to a popup variable. Add it to the map with map.addOverlay.
