Lesson 3: Analyzing Data by Proximity Using Buffers

Create a buffer that specifies an area within 100 feet of a particular street and use it to see which parcels will be affected by a construction project. Save the affected parcel data to a separate SDF file.

Compare the two sets of parcels—the original set of Redding parcels and those that lie within the construction zone—by attaching both SDF data sources to your map as separate layers and styling them differently.
