Usage

  • The Customer Layer must be a point feature class.

  • You should only use this report on customer layers that were created with Business Analyst or Address Coder.

  • Check the Use Selected Features Only check box if you want to examine a subset of customer records.

  • You can regeocode your file after you make edits to the address records if you want to improve the statistics in the report.

  • Use the block group layer for the Geography Level parameter. This is the lowest level of geography containing demographic data and will provide the most accurate results.
