Walkable location map

The Walkable Location Map is a great way to visualize who has access to your facility on foot. For example, this Health Clinic Map shows who can get to a health clinic within 10 minutes of walking. Discover information about the people living close to your facility by using ArcGIS Online’s “Enrich Layer” tool. It provides many demographic variables to choose from including total population, income, and spending habits. 

Key steps

  • Add your facility

    To start, add your facility to the map. To change the style of the facility’s symbol, select the “Location (Single Symbol)” drawing style.

  • Create a drive-time or walk-time area

    Run the “Create Drive-Time Area” tool to generate 10-minute walk-time polygons around your facility. You can also create a 10-minute drive-time area. This tool takes the street and sidewalk networks into account when creating accessible areas.

  • Add demographics to your walk-time area

    Run the “Enrich Layer” tool to learn more about the people near your facility. For example, you might want to identify average income and understand spending habits.
