href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/documentation\/spatial-analysis-services\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Spatial analysis services guide<\/span><\/a> for developers. <span data-contrast=\"auto\">This article provides an inside look at the guide, who it is for, the different types of spatial analysis applications you can build, and some tips to help you use the guide.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is spatial analysis?<\/h2>\n<p>Spatial analysis is the process of discovering patterns, finding trends, and gaining insights into your geospatial data.<\/p>\n<p>As a developer, you can perform spatial analyses interactively with tools such as Map Viewer or ArcGIS Pro to prototype applications you want to build, or you can just build the applications with client-side APIs and services such the ArcGIS Maps SDKs, scripting languages, spatial analysis service, and raster analysis service.<\/p>\n<p>You can build spatial analysis applications to answer geospatial problems such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which parcels are within the 100-year floodplain?<\/li>\n<li>Where are the high and low clusters of traffic crash incidents?<\/li>\n<li>Find underserved areas by evaluating distances to healthcare facilities.<\/li>\n<li>Identify critical conservation areas by analyzing vegetation cover, water sources, and human encroachment.<\/li>\n<li>Based on population density and drive times, where is the best place to build a new store location?<\/li>\n<li>Are all hydrants within a certain distance of the street?<\/li>\n<li>How many trailheads are within a half mile of my campsite?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This developer guide focuses on <a href=\"#section-geometry\"><em>Geometry analysis<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<em><a href=\"#section-feature\">Feature analysis<\/a>, <a href=\"#section-raster\">Raster analysis<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and<em><a

developers who have <a href=\"https:\/\/location.arcgis.com\/\">ArcGIS Location Platform<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-online\/overview\">ArcGIS
