Statistical Map

This is an example of a statistical map which is used to show variation in the quantity of a factor.  This can include different things such as rainfall, population, or crops in a geographic area and a dot map is one type.  The above illustration clearly shows us unemployment rates by country across the United States and as we can see most of this occurs in the Midwest with higher concentrations around Texas.
