Assigning territory centers

Available with Business Analyst license.

Territories created from seed points have fixed centers such as office or store locations. All other territories have non-fixed centers. Non-fixed centers are calculated for each territory shape change according to territory level parameters that you specify.

These territory center types are:

  • Geometric center - Center of the territory envelope or its overall bounding box.
  • Mean center - Calculated by physical locations or physical locations weighted with an attribute such as population or households.
  • Center of density - The point representing the densest location in a territory of its physical locations of physical locations weighted with an attribute.
  • Farthest point from all boundaries - The point located within a territory farthest from all its territory boundaries.

The territory center type can be changed at any time. Below are examples of each territory center type.
