Dot Distribution Map


A dot distribution map portrays quantitative data as a dot which represents a number of the phenomenon found within the boundary of a geographic area. The pattern of distributed dots reflects the general locations where the phenomenon was most likely to occur. The pattern and number of dots within a geographic area reveal the density of the phenomenon. This map is used to show the population of the world, a problem with this is that it also gives the perception that some places are uninhabited.
