Proportional Symbol Map

A proportional symbol map visually represents data using symbols like circles or squares whose sizes correspond to the value they represent. Larger symbols indicate higher values, while smaller ones show lower values. For example, on a map showing population data by city, bigger circles would represent cities with more residents. This method helps viewers quickly compare data across different locations and understand the differences at a glance, making complex information more accessible and intuitive.
