Socrata was acquired by Tyler Technologies in 2018 and is now the Data and Insights division of Tyler. The platform is still powered by the same software formerly known as Socrata but you will see references to Data & Insights going forward.

is_within

Function: is_within
  is_within is a function which takes a point and a multipolygon
  and returns a true value if the point is in the multipolygon, otherwise it returns
  false

  Examples

    is_within(`my_point_column`, state_boundary('Washington'))

    case
      is_within(`my_point_column`, state_boundary('Washington')),
      'The point is in the state of Washington!'
      is_within(`my_point_column`, state_boundary('New York')),
      'The point is in the state of New York!',
      true,
      'The point is not in either Washington or New York'
    )

Examples:

    is_within(
    to_point('POINT (5.0 5.0)'),
    to_multipolygon('MULTIPOLYGON (((0.0 0.0, 10.0 0.0, 10.0 10.0, 0.0 10.0, 0.0 0.0)))')
  )

  -- Result: true

    is_within(
    to_point('POINT (50.0 50.0)'),
    to_multipolygon('MULTIPOLYGON (((0.0 0.0, 10.0 0.0, 10.0 10.0, 0.0 10.0, 0.0 0.0)))')
  )

  -- Result: false
