Dot Distribution Map

 

The map shown here is a dot distribution map. These map types use dot symbols to show the presence of an occurrence in the area where the dots exist. Dot distribution maps rely on visual scatter to show the spatial pattern. The map here is a dot distribution map showing the Hispanic population in the United States. Each dot on the map represents 100,000 people of that population. These maps you can tell where a big population exist when many dots are near each other. When you see areas with just one dot, it doesn't mean that area only is where the population exist, but a general spot where we are able to depict where the Hispanics in that area are located.
