HOW TO
In ArcGIS Pro, a map displaying numerous point features provides detailed information about a region. However, in some instances, a lot of point features may add extra noise to the map, making it difficult to observe any trends. Therefore, it is helpful to visually improve a map by displaying only the mean center of a group of point features within a polygon.
This article describes the workflow to create the mean center of a group of point features within a polygon using the Pairwise Intersect tool to intersect the point and polygon feature layers and the Mean Center tools available in ArcGIS Pro.
Note: The Pairwise Intersect tool requires the ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.
The image below shows the mean centers of the groups of point features within the polygons are symbolized as red dots.
