The map shown above is an example of a dot density map. A dot density map is a type of point pattern map that uses a point, in this case a dot, to represent data. The map above offers data about the united states and its number of cities. Each red dot represents a city. Some dots are clustered together while others are dispersed or even randomly placed. Information on how points are dispersed are useful for researches and studies.
