Segmentation Penetration Map (Business Analyst)
Summary
Thematically shades the percent penetration of selected segments. This map helps you determine the concentration of your target segments at a given level of geography.

Usage
-
To best determine what segments to include in the Penetration Map, you should analyze the output from the Profile Segmentation Report.
-
The Segmentation Layer parameter should be set higher than the block group geography, for example, Census Tracts or ZIP Codes. There must be a distribution of households for a unit of geography for this map to be created.
-
The Segmentation Base can be generated using total adult population or total households.
-
Total adult population includes individuals 18 years old or older.
-
You may want to create a Game Plan Chart to help you in the selection of your segments.
-
You can change the default colors used in the Penetration Map by editing the Business Analyst Styles document. You can edit these colors in ArcMap by using Customize > Style Manager
