1. 1. For 'Methods', preview Natural Breaks and Quantile at a minimum, referring to both the table and the histogram and think about the impacts on the appearance of the map.
   2. After your examination, you will likely want to round the values to facilitate quick interpretation (unless exact statistical breaks, such as quantile are required for another reason.) (In the demo, we rounded to 5/10/25/100 for Total Sherds)
   3. For 'Classes', we recommend reducing the number to 3 or 4, if possible, and no more than 5, unless you spend time customizing the colors to ensure the can be easily distinguished on the map.
   4. For 'Color scheme', use the drop-down menu to select the color ramp of your choice.
   5. To customize the color scheme, use the drop-down menu to select select Format color scheme....

Kernel density

To the layperson, when we say we would like to create a hotspot map, we are typically actually talking about a

...

kernel density map. 

To convert features to points:

1. 1. On the Geoprocessing pane, go to Feature to Point
   2. Input Features would be any of your lot with data layers
   3. For the name of the input feature, choose the 'Lots_withData' input and add the word 'Centroid'
   4. Click 'Run'

Now, go back to the geoprocessing pane and search up "Kernel density"

1. 1. Input point or polyline features
      1. Choose the input that you just made, which is the 'Lots_withDataCentroid' input
   2. Population field
      1. Choose the field you want
   3. Output raster
      1. Name of the variable you're working on
   4. Output cell values
      1. Choose "Expected counts"
   5. Click 'Run'

One thing you may notice is that because this is a raster layer, we're seeing the grid cells.

Make sure that in the contents pane, your kernel density layer is selected.

If you go to the raster layer appearance tab in the ribbon, in the rendering group, there is a "Rendering type" button where you can change the view ex. nearest neighbor, linear, cubic.

The lower the choice, the smoother the cells will appear.

To choose the color ramp, click the layer in the contents pane, then press "Symbology" in the lower right corner of the geoprocessing pane.
