Enrich with Population Data

ArcGIS Online allows you interactively geoenrich your data with social demographic and business data. The easiest way to do accomplish this is to use the Map Viewer and add the field data interactively. You can also use the raw REST API.

In this lab you will add neighborhood polygons and enrich them with population data.
