Hi Marie,

Here is the trick that will allow you to get all the census blocks within the district boundary.

Export the census bock boundary shape file to a point shape file as centroid points. That way, the centroid points will be within the district boundary.
Use spatial join (within) to join two layers

Subject: [CTPP] spatial join
Sent by: ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net

In Arcview 10, I am trying to join the 2010 census blocks to another polygon feature with city districts. I am using the spatial join (within). The problem is that the blocks at the borders of the districts are not joined.
Any help?
Is there a better way??
Thanks!!
