Count points within a boundary using ArcGIS

[jkimberley]

I'm trying to work out how (if at all) to count the number of points within a boundary in the ArcGIS visualisation?

I have a number of different locations represented as points on the map and have added in a boundary reference layer. I'm just wondering if it's possible to create a join which counts the number of points within each of these boundaries. I would like to be able to prioritise the locations based on the number of points.

Any help would be appreciated. I understand it might be beyond the limits of this visualisation. Thanks!

Hi @jkimberley,

I don't think there is a built-in option to count the points with a boundary directly using ArcGIS. I'm wondering if you could make a table with all boundaries and the corresponding locations info, and import it into your model. Then you should be able to create a relationship between the info table and your data table, and create a measure to count the points of a boundary. 

Regards
