I have a GIS problem that is a little more complicated than spatial joining.
I have a crime location data set, containing geocoded crime location points that have been geocoded to streets and street interactions. I also have a census tract shpfile. What I would like to do is to allocate these points to census tracts (polygons). The problem is that many crime points fall right on or very close to the boundaries of tracts. I would like to split these points evenly to neighboring tracts. For example, if there are 10 points right on or within 30 feet of the boundary of two tracts, I would like to count 5 points toward each tract.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
