One of the most common challenges in mapping is how to fit a very large and complex world onto a small screen. For example, if we tried to map all 330 million Americans as individual points, our maps would be an illegible and unwieldy mess of points. Instead, cartographers have long relied on spatial aggregation to make thematic maps work: Those 330 million individuals become transformed into summary statistics reported by county or state and visualized as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/create-maps\/style-numbers-mv.htm\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">choropleth map<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.

But when we scale those circles based on mean student population of the clusters we realize that the average school size in NYC and Boston is quite small. And the largest state schools (places like Penn State) suddenly dominate the map. Look for these options under the Fields section of both clustering and binning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1768772,"id":1768772,"title":"ScaleByPop2","filename":"ScaleByPop2.jpg","filesize":725719,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/aggregation-o-rama\/scalebypop2","alt":"","author":"6331","description":"","caption":"","name":"scalebypop2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1768662,"date":"2022-11-10 16:37:51","modified":"2022-11-10 16:37:51","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1659,"height":1227,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2.jpg","medium-width":353,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":568,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2.jpg","large-width":1460,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2-1536x1136.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1136,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2.jpg","2048x2048-width":1659,"2048x2048-height":1227,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2-629x465.jpg","card_image-width":629,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ScaleByPop2-1460x1080.jpg","wide_image-width":1460,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Control the Look of Clusters (finally!)<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can now style the look of your clusters, just like we can style the look of any point feature.

Network speed is important since this is all happening client-side and, thus, the data needs to be downloaded before the bins or clusters can be generated. Experiment with the data you have but I\u2019ve seen datasets with over 250k points work well. If you have tens or hundreds of millions of point features in your layers, stay tuned; we have some exciting next-gen high performance capabilities coming next year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Binning and clustering complement each other. Bins are regularly sized and visible on the map so you know where its membership comes from. Clusters allow us in one click to easily take far too many points and make them easy to understand proportional symbols, that can now be scaled not just by count. Controlling the area of influence of a cluster (i.e., how large an area it\u2019ll look at to include membership) is a key part of dialing-in your map, so be sure to experiment with that slider. Lastly, the new styling options available to both binning and clustering mean this blog post has barely touched on what\u2019s possible visually. Have fun with blending, symbology, adding second varaibles into the mix, and create something beautiful and informative.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Happy Mapping!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"}],"related_articles":[{"ID":1593032,"post_author":"6331","post_date":"2022-06-22 21:30:08","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-23 04:30:08","post_content":"","post_title":"New Charts and Charts &amp; Size map styles help us make sense of all the numbers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pies-charts-style","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-06-22 21:38:24","post_modified_gmt":"2022-06-23 04:38:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?post_type=blog&#038;p=1593032","menu_order":0,"post_type":"blog","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"7","filter":"raw"},{"ID":684312,"post_author":"6751","post_date":"2019-12-18 10:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2019-12-18 18:27:02","post_content":"","post_title":"Clustering now available in Map Viewer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"clustering-now-available-in-map-viewer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-04-15 15:06:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-04-15 22:06:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?post_type=blog&#038;p=684312","menu_order":0,"post_type":"blog","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":902261,"post_author":"6461","post_date":"2020-07-10 17:10:29","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-11 00:10:29","post_content":"","post_title":"Enhanced Clustering in Map Viewer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"enhanced-clustering-in-map-viewer-beta","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-04-15 10:58:35","post_modified_gmt":"2022-04-15 17:58:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?post_type=blog&#038;p=902261","menu_order":0,"post_type":"blog","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"5","filter":"raw"}],"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Card_Binning.jpg","wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BannerFINAL.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aggregation-o-rama!
