Dot Distribution Map




A dot distribution map is one that is uses a dot to represent a certain number of figures in a certain geographic boundary area. Dots are generally placed where there is the highest chance of the individuals to show up in that certain area. For example, if an area has a lot of "individuals" a single dot can be placed to represent those 100 "individuals". This map represents "beer bellies of America". Each dot on the map represents an area where there are more bars than grocery stores!
