Continuously variable proportional circle map


Continuously variable proportional circle map

According to the website where I got this image (Nina Roberts), One circle represents the number of  persons of German ancestry in each community area.  Four circle sizes are used, each indicating a logarithmic increase in represented data.  The number of people symbolized by each circle ranges from 10 for the smallest circle to 1000 for the largest. Each circle in a continuously variable proportional circle map represents a specific set of data that is being examined in that certain area.
