Proportional Circle Map

This is a proportional circle map showing the Mexican population in the western U.S in 1990.  This particular map is a continuous-variable proportional circle map, meaning that there is all different sizes of circles.  This differs from a range-graded proportional circle map that has only a set number of circle sizes.  The map shows that Texas and California has an overwhelming percentage of the western U.S's Mexican population.
