Natural breaks are data-specific classifications and not useful for comparing multiple maps built from different underlying information. The features are divided into classes whose boundaries are set where there are relatively big differences in the data values. Class breaks are created in a way that best groups similar values together and maximizes the differences between classes. With natural breaks classification (Jenks), classes are based on natural groupings inherent in the data. You can minimize this distortion by increasing the number of classes. Similar features can be placed in adjacent classes, or features with widely different values can be put in the same class. There are no empty classes or classes with too few or too manyīecause features are grouped in equal numbers in each class using quantile classification, the resulting map can often be misleading. Quantile assigns the same number of data values to each class. A quantile classification is well suited to linearly distributed data. In a quantile classification, each class contains an equal number of features.

For example, it shows that a shop is part of the group of shops that make up the top one-third of all sales. This method emphasizes the amount of an attribute value relative to other values. For example, if you specify three classes for a field whose values range from 0 to 300, three classes with ranges of 0–100, 101–200, and 201–300 are created.Įqual interval is best applied to familiar data ranges, such as percentages and temperature. This allows you to specify the number of intervals, and the class breaks based on the value range are automatically determined. Use equal interval to divide the range of attribute values into equal-sized subranges. The interval size must be small enough to fit the minimum number of classes allowed, which is three. The number of classes, based on the interval size and maximum sample size, is determined automatically. For example, if the interval size is 75, each class will span 75 units.

Use defined interval to specify an interval size to define a series of classes with the same value range. Alternatively, you can start with one of the standard classifications and make adjustments as needed.

#CREATE METHOD MAP ARCGIS MANUAL#

Use manual interval to define your own classes, to manually add class breaks and to set class ranges that are appropriate for the data. Classification methods are used for classifying numerical fields for graduated symbology.

When you classify your data, you can use one of many standard classification methods provided in ArcGIS Pro, or you can manually define your own custom class ranges.
