Statistical Map


A statistical map shows the variation of a particular factor over a given time period. Statistical maps can be displayed by using dot plots, choroplelth maps, and also proportional symbol maps. In the  example above  the ration of how likely a specific area is to be hit by a hurricane is shown in red. As you notice areas in South Florida are collectively more likely to be target areas as they are closer to the Gulf.
