000718: <value> polygons did not meet the minimum number of neighbors specified based on polygon contiguity; for these polygons the closest noncontiguous neighbors will also be included as neighbors.

Description

Some polygons did not have the minimum number of neighbors specified so the nearest noncontiguous neighbors were also used. Noncontiguous neighbor distances are based on true geometric feature centroids.

Solution

Specifying a minimum Number of Neighbor polygons is a good strategy. You might also consider using K Nearest Neighbors or another option for the Conceptualization of spatial relationships parameter.
