Dot Density Map


The University of Washington  website is where I found this map of China. Dot density maps are a type of point pattern map. Each dot represents 50,000 people. Despite the large area of China (about the same as the United States) its population is concentrated in specific regions. The coastal area is most populous because of the booming pacific rim economy. Other population densities focus around rivers.
