Proportional Circle Map


This is an example of a Proportional Circle Map. This map type is a point pattern map similar to the dot density map, but the data is mapped with a circle instead of dots. The size of the circle relates to measured variability and not to the area over which it is measured. In this map the dots represent the number of people of German decent in the Chicago, Illinois area.
