In this tutorial, we will be performing what is referred to as Areal Interpolation of Census Attributes. We
have a set of boundaries (in this case the Major Watershed Basins of Connecticut, our CTMajorbasins
Layer) for which we would like to summarize the population. Our problem is that these watershed
boundaries do not correspond with the geographic units that the U.S. Census uses to collect and tabulate
demographic data. Some of the Census Block Groups in our CTblkgrp layer overlaps more than one
Watershed basin unit. What we will do in the following steps is calculate the proportion of overlap for each
Census Block Group, relative to the Watershed Boundaries, and use these proportions to assign an
appropriate estimate of the population to each watershed.

Now, we need to merge the Block Group and Watershed boundary files, so that those Block Groups that
span more than one watershed will be split into their sub-units of overlap. To do this, we will use a
technique generically referred to as Geoprocessing. Geoprocessing is the act of applying any number of

spatially transforming tools to a dataset. In this case, we will use the Union Tool to create a new dataset.
