This layer provides boundaries for all of the census tract boundaries in Harris County. For more information on census tracts, review the Introduction to Census Geographies course.

  1. In the Contents pane on the left, right-click the CensusTracts_MTTW_2014 layer and select Attribute Table.

The attribute table provides data on the percentage of workers 16 and older who commuted by driving alone, carpooling, or taking public transportation.

  1. On the ribbon, click the Analysis tab.
  2. On the Analysis tab, within the first Geoprocessing group, click the Tools button.

Notice that the Geoprocessing pane has opened on the right as a new tab on top of the Catalog pane. Typically, you would use the 'Find Tools' search box at the top of the Geoprocessing pane to search for the name of the tool you'd like to use, but, at times, especially when learning the software, it can be helpful to view the full hierarchy of all the tools available, because you will often discover related and helpful tools that you didn't know existed and wouldn't know to search for. You might also completely forget the name of a tool, but be able to locate it based on the hierarchy. For these reasons, we will be manually navigating the toolboxes throughout this tutorial. The more typical workflow of searching directly for a specific tool is covered at the end of the Introduction to Geoprocessing tutorial.

 

  1. At the top of the Geoproccessing pane, click the Toolboxes tab.
  2. Click the Spatial Statistics Tools toolbox > Analyzing Patterns toolset > Spatial Autocorrelation (Global Moran's I) tool.
  3. In the upper right corner of the ‘Merge’ tool, hover over the Help button.
