Proportional Circle Map


A Proportional Circle Map uses point data to map a circle instead of a dot. The size of these circles relates to the measured variable and not which it is measured. This map conveys the number of Mexians per state in the Western United States in 1990. This map is a propotional circle map because of its use of circles that relate to the amount of people in each state.
