Proportional circle maps can come in all sizes and colors, as well as represent all different types of statistics. These maps are point data, but instead of a dot representing the data, the map uses a circle to represent the data it is showing. The size of the circle which is seen on the map does not reflect the size of the area in which the circle covers, but instead the size of the circle shown represents the measured variable. The proportional circle map which is shown above represents the unemployment rates for the country of Europe in the year 2007. Each level of unemployment can be seen as a fairly large grey circle. With these maps the main trend of interest is that of statistics within different areas of study.
