Proportional Circle Map




In a proportional circle map such as the one above the circles represent a predetermined value which is then expressed by the placement and size of the circle in its specific location on the map.  These maps are used to express statically data geographically.  This map shows the amounts of Walmarts in the United States in 2009.  The map shows that Walmarts are more prevalent on the east coast.
