Dynamic feature clustering<\/a> \u2013 the ability to visualize point features in cluster symbols \u2013 has been added to ArcGIS Pro as of version 2.9.\u00a0 After installing or updating ArcGIS Pro to version 2.9 or later, this new way to map your point features becomes available. We hear from many of you wanting this feature in ArcGIS Pro via the Esri Community forums and ArcGIS Ideas \u2013 Thank you to everyone who indicated their needs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s new in the relative sense: the concept is familiar, and is certainly helpful. Alongside dynamic feature binning<\/a>, you now have an additional way to dynamically aggregate point features.<\/p>\n

Feature clustering works on layers with point features. Specific to clustering, the layer does not need to be stored in an enterprise database. The main requirement is that the features must<\/em> be point features.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t had the opportunity to aggregate features<\/a> with ArcGIS Pro, version 2.9 is the perfect time to try it out! Are you ready for a tour?<\/p>\n

Clustering point features<\/h3>\n

Start by adding point feature data to a map. Then, select the layer you added in the Contents<\/strong> pane. After that, in the ribbon, click the Appearance<\/strong> tab, and click the Aggregation<\/strong> drop-down button.<\/p>\n

There are three options to choose from; select Clustering<\/strong>. (Binning is only available to use if you have an enterprise database setup \u2013 read more about this here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1386252,"id":1386252,"title":"Aggregation_Clustering_dropdown","filename":"6.png","filesize":21214,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/dynamic-feature-clustering-arcgis-pro\/6-27","alt":"Choose Clustering from the Aggregation tab in the Feature Layer ribbon.","author":"9702","description":"","caption":"","name":"6-27","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1386212,"date":"2021-11-02 19:13:07","modified":"2021-11-02 19:13:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":420,"height":308,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","medium-width":356,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","medium_large-width":420,"medium_large-height":308,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","large-width":420,"large-height":308,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","1536x1536-width":420,"1536x1536-height":308,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","2048x2048-width":420,"2048x2048-height":308,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","card_image-width":420,"card_image-height":308,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/6.png","wide_image-width":420,"wide_image-height":308}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

After clicking the Clustering option, it redraws your layer into clusters and adds a Clustering<\/strong> tab to ArcGIS Pro\u2019s ribbon.<\/p>\n

Open and view the Symbology<\/strong> pane. Underneath the title of the pane, you\u2019ll see two tabs: Features<\/strong> and Clusters<\/strong>. Clustered feature layers have two types of symbology: one for clusters, and one for features when they aren\u2019t clustered.<\/p>\n

In the Contents<\/strong> pane, legends for features and clusters are separate. Most importantly, on the map itself, your point layer is clustered \u2013 with text values! But what do the text values mean?<\/p>\n

Our goal is to make it simple to aggregate features dynamically and allow as much symbology customization as possible. Depending on the kind of symbology you use, cluster symbols will dynamically change size, value, or color.<\/p>\n

The cluster text\u2019s values are no different. The values you see on the clusters depend on the kind of data you are working with. In most cases, it is the total number of features in that cluster. In the practical example below, you’ll see a different behavior – but we’ll get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n

Zoom or pan around the map view to see when and how your clusters change. You can still control the design of the symbols, but you should expect dynamic changes whenever the view or scale of the map is changed.<\/p>\n

A Practical Example<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s get inspired and work together on a quick example. We\u2019re headed to Madison, Wisconsin \u2013 where I found street-side tree data for the entire city<\/a> via ArcGIS Hub. There are hundreds of tree species in this data, so I consolidated them to 68 unique classes \u2013 but you can work with the data the way it is out-of-the-box, as well. Anyway, the total number of records in this dataset for a city this size is over 110,000. This makes it a prime candidate for feature clustering.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1386322,"id":1386322,"title":"Unclustered_point_features","filename":"1.png","filesize":968771,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/dynamic-feature-clustering-arcgis-pro\/1-42","alt":"Unclustered point feature data.","author":"9702","description":"","caption":"110,000 point features representing street trees in Madison, Wisconsin.","name":"1-42","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1386212,"date":"2021-11-02 19:28:11","modified":"2021-11-02 19:29:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1485,"height":802,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":251,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":415,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","large-width":1485,"large-height":802,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","1536x1536-width":1485,"1536x1536-height":802,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","2048x2048-width":1485,"2048x2048-height":802,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-826x446.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":446,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.png","wide_image-width":1485,"wide_image-height":802}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Because we\u2019re symbolizing the data with unique values<\/a>, each tree species has its own unique color. A lot of good that does us, though. We can\u2019t discern anything from this map. So, let\u2019s cluster the points!<\/p>\n

When I choose to cluster the feature layer, the clusters are proportionally sized for the map\u2019s scale. But something else interesting also happens. Because clustering supports unique value symbology, the text values on the clusters display the total number of records\u2026 but the color of the cluster\u2019s symbol is the mode<\/em><\/span>! That sort of dynamism gives me the answer to questions I hadn\u2019t even thought of asking.<\/p>\n

The map shows that Ash trees are the predominant species in downtown Madison (the center of the map between the two big lakes), while Maple trees prevail in the urban residential districts. Linden and Honeylocust trees triumph in the outer suburban districts. I can find out which species is the mode by clicking the cluster to view its pop-up.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1390772,"id":1390772,"title":"Cluster_Popup","filename":"2.png","filesize":513224,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/dynamic-feature-clustering-arcgis-pro\/2-43","alt":"View a cluster's pop-up to see statistics for the points they represent.","author":"9702","description":"","caption":"","name":"2-43","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1386212,"date":"2021-11-05 17:51:40","modified":"2021-11-05 17:53:19","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":925,"height":737,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","medium-width":328,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":612,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","large-width":925,"large-height":737,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","1536x1536-width":925,"1536x1536-height":737,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","2048x2048-width":925,"2048x2048-height":737,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-584x465.png","card_image-width":584,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.png","wide_image-width":925,"wide_image-height":737}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

My recommendation is that you go with a higher radius when you have several known groups of close-together point features, and a lower radius when the data are more evenly distributed.<\/p>\n

But what if we need a different statistic \u2013 something other than total point count? No problem: we can create a different summary statistic from a field in the data and symbolize that instead.<\/p>\n

Building Summary Statistics<\/h3>\n

Perhaps we\u2019re interested in the average diameter of the tree and want the size of the symbol to correspondingly grow or shrink based on that information.

As one may expect, trees in the suburban areas are smaller in diameter since they are likelier to be younger trees. Many of the largest trees are near the University of Wisconsin Arboretum<\/a>, an ecological preserve.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1390812,"id":1390812,"title":"ClusteringBlogTour_final","filename":"9.png","filesize":608981,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/dynamic-feature-clustering-arcgis-pro\/9-18","alt":"A map of the average street-side tree diameter per region in Madison, Wisconsin.","author":"9702","description":"","caption":"","name":"9-18","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1386212,"date":"2021-11-05 17:59:40","modified":"2021-11-05 18:00:32","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":924,"height":701,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","medium-width":344,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":583,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","large-width":924,"large-height":701,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","1536x1536-width":924,"1536x1536-height":701,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","2048x2048-width":924,"2048x2048-height":701,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9-613x465.png","card_image-width":613,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/9.png","wide_image-width":924,"wide_image-height":701}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

This brief tour of dynamic feature clustering only scratches the surface of the capabilities available. There are a variety of other clustering features available that you can read about here<\/a>, if you’re intrigued.<\/p>\n

Go ahead: give clustering a try! You may learn something new about your data, and we look forward to seeing some amazing maps that use clustering.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your time and see you on the next blog!<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":9702,"user_firstname":"Gregory","user_lastname":"Lehner","nickname":"Greg Lehner","user_nicename":"glehner","display_name":"Greg Lehner","user_email":"GLehner@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2019-06-28 20:00:31","user_description":"Greg is a Sr. Product Engineer who's been mapping his way around Esri and ArcGIS Pro for over a decade.
