The MOE helps us figure out that range.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, if the estimate for a certain group of people for an area is\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #06af8f\">361 people<\/a><\/strong>, there will be an associated margin of error for that estimate.

Labeling is often used to notify a map audience of the name of places,\u00a0 but it can also be used to reveal more detailed information, such as margins of error. And with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/new-labels-in-map-viewer-beta\/\">new label capabilities in Map Viewer<\/a> such as multiple label classes, and Arcade expressions, we&#8217;re able to create meaningful labels with varying techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Labeling MOEs in general benefits from being able to set your scale of when labels will turn on or off. This makes sure only the right amount of information is being shared at an appropriate scale without being cluttered or distracting. We&#8217;ll show three techniques for labeling MOEs:<\/p>\n<p>1.

In this case, we&#8217;ve chosen to use an exclamation point as our symbol, as it gives a sense of warning that the underlying data might be unreliable.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the label styles the same from the previous example with green, yellow, red colors, we&#8217;re able to show which areas have more or less reliable data. Rather than using statements, an ! symbol saves room on your map to highlight your symbology while conveying a need to caution depending on the data&#8217;s reliability. Keep in mind that this technique doesn\u2019t include the labeling within the legend, so your map audience may not understand these symbols right away.
