I am using ArcMap 10.8. For the shapefile of hospitals, I want to show that they are either scattered or congested within a given area.
Is there any tool I can use for that?
I am very new to this.

Show as a map or like a analysis/measurement?– BeraCommented Apr 16, 2022 at 9:43

Check and try this desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/…– Yogesh ChavanCommented Apr 16, 2022 at 14:41

Use average nearest neighbor e.g. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/426189/…– FelixIPCommented Apr 17, 2022 at 0:42

This is the kind of situation where a heatmap can provide an elegant solution. In ArcMap, the tool to use to create a heatmap from points is called "Kernel density". Please search for this tool in the ArcToolbox and run it.

You may also use a clustering algorithm and see the area of the cluster as the result of your question. For example, using k-nearest neighbors, your clusters will get smaller in the area's hospitals are getting dense and bigger if there are not many.
