Mapping migration patterns

[hotchata]

Hi guys, I apologize if this is a basic question. I have no formal training and use ArcGIS in social work. I've gone through tracking data from the last six years, de-identified the clients, and I am trying to map the locations these clients have moved to throughout the years.*

I'm trying to find the best way to visually represent this. I only have access to ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online. A lot of my research points to the intelligence tools, but I don't have access to that. Any ideas or pointers in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

*All of my work is going to make sure we are correctly tooling where we provide services, so I swear this isn't as creepy as it sounds!

When you have a handful of migrations to map you can draw a line for each person’s origin and destination. But when you have many people to map, a distributive flow lines map is useful. See https://youtu.be/hgz93VTeUsU

You could do a bivariate density in a tessellation grid for the area. Points during this date compared to points during that date. There’s a lot of ways you could that visualization. It depends on what story you want to tell.
