Dot Distribution Map


A dot distribution map is a type of point pattern map which shows the frequency of a variable in an area through the amount of dots there are in that area. In the map above, the population distribution of the United States is shown through the frequency and location of the dots. Notice how more populated areas like New York are extremely crowded with dots while areas that are less crowded like the Midwest are less crowded.
