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.

Illustration

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

Syntax

SegmentationPenetrationMap_ba (SegmentationBase, SegmentationClusters, SegmentationLayer, SegmentationAnalysisResultFolder, {CreateReport}, {CreateFeatureClass}, OutputFeatureClass)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
SegmentationBase	The segmentation base can be generated using total adult population or total households.	String
SegmentationClusters [SegmentationClusters,...]	One or more segments used to define your summarized target penetration.	String
SegmentationLayer	The geographic layer containing the segmentation variables. Typically, the segmentation variables are Tapestry variables.	String
SegmentationAnalysisResultFolder	The output file directory.	Folder
CreateReport (Optional)	Generates a Segmentation Penetration Map report. CREATE_REPORT —Generates a Segmentation Penetration Map report. DONT_CREATE_REPORT —Does not generate a Segmentation Penetration Map report.	Boolean
CreateFeatureClass (Optional)	Generates an output feature class for the Segmentation Penetration Map. CREATE_OUT_FEATURECLASS —Generates an output feature class for the Segmentation Penetration Map. DONT_CREATE_OUT_FEATURECLASS —Does not generate an output feature class for the Segmentation Penetration Map.	Boolean
OutputFeatureClass	The new feature class that will contain the Segmentation Penetration map output.	Feature Class
