Proportional Circle Map




Proportional Circle Maps display recorded data for a location with relation to the size of the circle displayed there. In this map they are comparing the number of mexicans in each state on the Western side of the US. This is a good way to evaluate whether or not mexicans would be the minority in each state. It gives you a relative image of the size of the state and its population compared to the number of mexicans that would equally cover the ground area of that state.
