Population Profile Map


http://www.ninis.nisra.gov.uk/mapxtreme/InteractiveMaps_Demography.asp

Above is a Population Profile map, this map type is responsible for presenting the number of people in a selected population as a function of people's age.  This information is generally provided by the United States Census, in this example this map is representing the population profile of its people in Northern Ireland from 1971 to 2043.  With continuous data available, cartographers are able to project the data to the future by following trends.

Scatterplot Map

Above is Scatterplot map, this map is a mathematical diagram that uses coordinates to display values for variables, usually two at a time. In most cases, there will be a constant variable held and represented by a line on the graph surrounded by various dots to deliver the data to its viewer.
This mapping type is being utilized to display the k% vs. ISO, having relation to the medical and exercise science field.

 

Index Value Plot

Above is an example of a Index Value Plot, this map is a good way to show change of a numerical value and flow.  This representation is of a statistical regression correlated to the closing of the DOW market, against the reopening of the market. 


Accumulative Line Graph

Above is an example of an Accumulative Line Graph, this map type originates from a chart and utilizes data series through points and lines to show frequency of a variable.  In this case, economic loss as a result from injury is being displayed.


Bilateral Graph

Above being represented is a Bilateral Graph map, this map type is ideal for displaying two inputs of information and using it to compare or contrast.  This type of data delivery may not be viewed as a map, but the underlying idea is that it is showing direction, numerically.  In this case, it is a report by the FDIC, showing its percentage of debt assets including long-term mortgage assets compared against construction and development loans outstanding.

Nominal Area Choropleth Map

Above is referred to a Nominal Area Choropleth map, this map type is a thematic map that is utilized for displaying areal data.  As in ordinance with typical choropleth maps, colors and shading are used in order to help the audience view and understand the data being displayed.  Nominal Area maps are ideal for comparison purposes, above is displaying minority groups with the highest population per state.


Unstandardized Choropleth Map

Above is an example of an Unstandardized Choropleth map, this map type holds the same values as a typical choropleth map but with the difference in the data being portrayed. Unstandardized maps utilize raw data on the map rather than data that has been standardized.   The map above represents rainfall water withdrawals with the numerical data represented in millions of gallons.
