Proportional Circle Map


A Proportional Circle Map is a map that uses varying sizes of circles in order to present data. The larger the circle is, the higher proportion of the data. The map above shows the urban population in Michigan, and parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The key shows that the larger circles represent larger urban areas. This can be seen in Detroit and Chicago.
