Thematic Maps

Show spatial aspects of information or of a phenomenon **

Chlorpleth

Shows data in a color scale

Chloropleths are bad

• Outliers will turn an entire state dark
  • Ex Atlanta’s black neighborhoods make the whole state of Georgia dark on a chloropleth scale

Dot distribution

• Shows the distribution of things
• One dot represents something
• Problems
  • Majorities overrun minorities
  • Doesn’t show everything
    • You can’t see the asian populations
    • There isnt even a color for MENA immigrants(should be visibile in NYC and Detroit)

• They are ugly
• Pretty similar to chloropleth
• Not a Dot distribution
  • Big circles
  • not small circles

• Uses lines that connect points of equal value to depict variations in the data across space
• Where lines are close together, change is rapid

• Most common type: topographic map

Cartograms

Countries have different scales based on a statistic
