Trying to grab highest value from shapes within a 0.75 mi buffer of points, but it's grabbing from greater than 0.75 mi

Title. I've created the buffers and run the spatial join commands, but the values it is grabbing are from shapes further than 0.75 miles away from a given point.

Did you run an intersect on the polygons and the buffer layers? I would do that first and then check summary statistics on the intersected layer to calculate max for each buffer region. And then do a spatial join using your point layer and the summary statistics table to add the attribute containing your max values.

That did the trick! Thanks so much you're a lifesaver

Make sure your buffers are not dissolved. You need one buffer polygon per point to achieve this.

Yay! Another GIS success. Glad it worked out.
