Bubble Map

Bubble maps combine geographic mapping with proportional symbols to display quantitative data across locations. Each bubble is positioned at specific coordinates and sized according to the value it represents. This visualization is excellent for showing regional comparisons, identifying geographic clusters, and communicating location-based metrics like sales by city or population by region.
