The purpose of this analysis was to get an overall senseof Austin's unit density and urban form. The information isuseful in a number of ways, and in this case unit density isused to measure the viability of current and proposed railtransit projects. The first step in this analysis was to sumthe number of electric utlity accounts for each addresspoint, and join the information to the point layer. Data forutilities not served by Austin Electric were not available,so areas outside the service area - which approximatesthe City's ETJ - are not necessarily depicted correctly.The density numbers are created by generating a grid ofcells. The GIS program takes each cell and determines acount which includes the count of any points falling intothat cell, plus the sum of counts within a radius, which inthis case was a quarter mile. The total count for each cellis divided by the quarter mile area to determine thedensity. The density can be reported in a number ofways, such as units per acre.Transit is more viable when quarter mile areas aroundstations have at least 15 units per acre. The map showsthat some rail transit routes are or will be supported byadequate densities, while others may need to attractadditional development or redevelopment to enhance thierviability. The image at the bottom right is another way oflooking at unit density as if it were expressed in a 3dimensional view. The higher density areas appear as"mountains" in the city-scape.
