This short tutorial will guide you how to count points inside polygon in QGIS. I have a point layer that has many points and also I have a polygon layer. We will try to count how many points inside these polygons. Counting points inside a polygon is a common spatial analysis task in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that can provide valuable insights for a variety of applications, from environmental studies to urban planning.
Below we have a point layer and polygon layer. To count the points, we will use a tool called “Count points in polygon)
Double click the tool and specify the polygons and points layer.
Click Run and it will create a new layer. Open the layer attribute and you should see the number of points shown in the new column called NUMPOINTS.
