Proportional Circle Map


Proportional circle maps display data by using circles to represent numerical data. The larger the circle appears on the map the greater the amount of whatever data is being displayed belongs to that area. The example above shows Hispanic population throughout the nation and as you can see the greatest Hispanic influence takes place in California, Texas, and Florida. These maps are useful because they are very easy to understand and can be easily developed.
