Bivariate Choropleth Map


Bivariate choropleth maps display two variables on a single map by combining two different sets of graphic symbols or colors. The main objective of a bivariate map is to find a simple method for accurately and graphically illustrating the relationship between two spatially distributed variables. A bivariate map has potential to reveal relationships between variables more effectively than a side-by-side comparison of the corresponding univariate maps. The map above shows two variables on one map of Ohio, the two variables are population and median house value.
