Cartograms


Cartograms show the area with distortion. It uses area size to show a certain statistic. For example, a Cartogram map demonstrating population would have a larger area to show more people as compared to a smaller area with less people. The above map shows the U.S. population. The more population in the area, the area becomes more distorted and is displayed larger.
