I have a shapefile right now that contains many points. I would like to count the number of point points that are within 150 ft of each other.

enter image description here

For example, I should count 8 locations with points within 150 ft of each other.

I tried making buffers around the points (see below) but each buffer isn't an individual.

  • I tried but I dont think I understand how to do this. This distance matrix created a matrix of all the points and the distance to the next nearest point. What I want is to essentially combine all the points within 150 ft of each other and then count how many of those exist.

  • To get all buffers individually use the "Multipart to singleparts" and then apply the "Count points in polygon".

Open the Field Calculator and use this expression:

aggregate(
    'Point_layer', -- replace with the name/id of your point layer
    'count',
    $id,
    filter:=distance(
        $geometry,
        geometry(@parent)
        ) <= 45.72 -- set here the distance in the projection units
    ) - 1

replace Point_layer with the name or id of your point layer.

Try also the "DBSCAN clustering" geoalgorithm. It contains a setting called 'Maximum distance between clustered points' and will provide in the end the "CLUSTER_SIZE" attribute.
