Summarizing areas of features of multiple classes

[المشرف العام]

I am conducting a buffer analysis on a vector feature class of Urban-Wildland Interface zones, and am trying to calculate the total areas of each particular classification of interface area.

As I walk through this question, elements that represent column attributes will be [framed], and data will be indicated with (parentheses)

For example... Buffer A's [municipal_name] is (Charleston), and features [HighDensity_Interface]; [HighDensity_Intermix]; and [MedDensity_Interface] areas.

Buffer B's [municipal_name] is (Amherst), and features [HighDensity_Interface]; [HighDensity_Intermix]; and [LowDensity_Interface] areas.

1. I have successfully isolated the two buffer areas using the "Identify" function. The vector data is somewhat "checkerboarded" (metaphorically speaking) given the diversity of interface areas within each.
2. I then added a new field and "calculated geometry", populating the new field with [Area] data
3. Now, each metaphorical "square" in the "checkerboard" has an area calculated. For example 6 of the individual "squares" in (Amherst) have now had their [HighDensity_Interface] [Area] calculated, and so on with the other

Since (Amherst) and (Charleston) are in the same feature class, I am having a difficult time summarizing the areas of each interface type and aggregating those calculations based on [municipal_name].

Is there a way to do this in ArcMap? Or should I begin analyzing my tables in a separate statistical tool, such as SAS?

I tried doing a basic "dissolve" function, but that unites [HighDensity_Interface] and [HighDensity_Intermix] across both buffers, which is not what I want.

• Is there a way to split this new "dissolved" feature class based on [municipal_name]?

I may have just done things backwards... time for some more poking

Thanks, all
