16 mapped places · Numeric values

Circle area scaled by value

Includes: pattern fills · rich linked popups · linked side table

Data you need

  • A place or boundary identifier that matches Worldwide.
  • Latitude and longitude for every point, or an address/place field that can be geocoded.
  • A numeric value for symbol size or height, plus optional category and popup fields.
  • A title, units, source, and short note explaining definitions or limitations.

How to make a similar map

  1. Prepare one row per mapped place and match it to Worldwide; use stable geographic codes when available.
  2. Upload the CSV and confirm the location and value fields in Data check. Remove duplicates or unmatched rows before continuing.
  3. Choose a proportional symbol map with circle symbols and scale symbol area by the value.
  4. Add labels, stat cards, and source notes only where they aid interpretation. Keep the interactive table beside the map for lookup and selection.

  • Active wildfires sized by acres burned
  • Storms sized by wind speed or damage
  • Disease outbreaks sized by reported cases
