Cartogram



Cartograms are maps that have the size of the particular region being displayed skewed to have it represent importance. Instead of simply having numbers tell the whole story, these maps allow the size of each place represent what has the most value. In the example above, the numbers of voters in each state is shown by the sizes of each state. For example, Florida, California, and Texas are the biggest because they have the most voters.
