Proportional Circle Map




The proportional circle map is another common mapping tool used that is typically utilized to represent some numerical value, such as population density in a state.  The higher the value the larger the circle, and the smaller the circle of course has the lower densities.  This makes it easy to compare different states for instance to one another because you can just look at the size of the circle and measure it in comparison to the size of the other states.
