Arcadia Data lets you plot measurements, as bubbles, over US State regions. Bubble maps display up to two measurements simultaneously: as the color of the bubble, and as the relative size of the bubble.
A map of the United States shows a comparison of measurement values among US States.
The following steps demonstrate how to create a new map visual on the dataset US County Population
[data source samples.us_counties
]. This produces a map with bubble marks that correspond to the total population of each state.
[Optional] Add a measure to the Size shelf.
Here, we plan to show the relative size of the Hispanic population across the country, so we are using the following expression in the Enter/Edit Expression editor:
sum([h_female]+[h_male])
Click Refresh Visual.
The map visual appears.
Click (pencil icon) next to the title of the visualization to edit it, and enter the new name.
