37. Proportional Circle Map


Source

These are a variation of dot density maps; rather than showing density, these maps use circles instead of dots. The circles are proportional to the size of the measured variable rather than the area it covers. More specifically, this is a continuously graded proportional circle map. It indicates that the largest (not densest) Mexican populations are in California and Texas.
