Pop-up Infographics

Pop-up infographics are a new way to find information about the the locations in your map. When you click on the Infographics link in a pop-up window, ArcGIS Online aggregates the demographics around that feature on your map and delivers them via easy to understand infographics. National, state, and county information is provided for easy comparison with the selected feature. In the screenshot below, an infographic shows the age distrubtution in a one mile radius around a college campus. As expected, the bars show a much higher percentage of men and women between the ages of 20 and 24 in the college neighborhood than the state as a whole (shown in white dots). To change the comparison between county, state, and national demographics, use the drop-down box in the lower right corner of the infographic.

Please be aware that viewing popup infographics requires an ArcGIS Online Organizational account and consumes credits.

Note:

The Age infographic displays two variables: male population and female population. The blue bars representing male population add up to 100% and the pink bars representing female population also add up to 100%. Adding the percentage values for pink bars and blue bars together would be incorrect.

How to Configure Infographics:

Information is displayed in a carousel of configurable infographics. Each infographic shows the distribution of one variable around the chosen location. A few infographics are turned on by default and can be scrolled through by clicking the arrows beside the infographic. Infographics can be added to or removed from the carousel using the Configure button in the Infographics window.

Steps:

1. Click the Configure button on the infographic window.
2. Define the area for which you want information.
   • Select either Ring or Drive Times to define the type of area around the selected feature. A ring will return information from a circle around the selected feature. Selecting Drive Times will return information from an area within a driving distance from the selected feature.
   • Choose the distance from the selected feature for which you want demographic information. By default, demographic information will be gathered for an area one mile in all directions from the selected object. This ring can be changed to different linear distances. If Drive Time was selected in the previous step, you have the option of choosing distance in units of linear measurement (miles or kilometers) or time (minutes).
3. Choose which variables should appear in the carousel.
   • Place a checkmark in the boxes next to the infographics you'd like to see. Uncheck the boxes for the infographics you'd rather not see.
   • Click on Add more individual variables to explore the data collections available from ArcGIS Online.
   • Choose a data collection to see which variables are contained within it.
   • Place a checkmark next to the variables you'd like to see in your infographics carousel.
   • Click Done to return to the Configure Infographics window.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
