I am using zonal statistics in ArcGis 10.2.2 to calculate the mean value of fire frequency within 1km buffers. However, I have noticed that this is not being calculated for all of my sites. There are a few overlapping buffers in my dataset.
Is there a way to get around this?
Answer
Remove overlaps and zonal statistics will perform as expected.
Extract from tool help:
If the zone feature input has overlapping polygons, the zonal analysis will not be performed for each individual polygon. Since the feature input is converted to a raster, each location can only have one value.
An alternative method is to process the zonal statistics iteratively for each of the polygon zones and collate the results.
