Learn more about how the Market Ranking Report works

Usage

• Use this report to determine how well a market will rank based on one or more attributes.

• You can rank either point data or polygon data.

• If you summarize sales point data to a market area, you can rank each market based on your sales data to find your best performing markets.

• The report will rank a given set of features based on a primary rank field.

• You can use the Ranking Additional Fields option to create a ranking report with two or more attributes.

• Use the optional Include Average Rank Field option based on the rank order of two or more attributes.

• The Include Average Rank Field option is a cross-tab rank that weights the rank order based on the count of the variables selected in the report. Use this option when you want to see how all the variables you have chosen in the rank report rank as a whole.

• Select Use All Features for Ranking if you want to rank all features in the input layer. If you do not check this option in ArcMap, only features that are within the active study area or analysis extent will be ranked.

• If you want to rank your market and display only the top n number of features, use the Number of Features for Ranking option. For example, you could rank the top 20 performing ZIP Codes in your study area.
