Create drive time zone

Drive Time can be used to find people who live within a determined area, calculated on the number of minutes or the distance it takes to drive from a given point.

This example uses the plot map created here to generate a drive time zone of 20 minutes from the Warwick town centre.

Creating a drive time zone¶

1. Right click on the map and, from the pop up menu, select Search...

2. Type Warwick into the Location box and click OK.

   

   Note

   A specific postcode can be used as a starting point, if necessary.

3. Right click on the pin representing the location.

4. Select DriveTime.
5. Set the DriveTime to 20 minutes.

6. Click OK.

   

   To establish how many people on the FastStats system live within this 20 minute drive time:

7. Navigate to the Selections section of the Layers panel where the item will now be entered

   

8. Click and drag the button onto the workspace to see and count the selection

   The result will be all the records shown on the map which can be reached within a 20 minute drive from the centre of Warwick - in this example, 41 people have been selected.
