Dot density is now available in ArcGIS Online’s Map Viewer<\/a>. This mapping style makes your data and story more personal by representing a count of something or someone with an individual dot. Common topics that work well with dot density include Census data, vital statistics, incidents and accidents, crime, and product sales. The dot density style works well in any situation where multiple counts or totals are in your data and when they share a common unit such as people, houses, incident reports, arrests, total dollars, etc.<\/p>\n

Humanize your map\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The map on the left shows which areas have more unsheltered<\/span> versus sheltered<\/span> homeless people in Los Angeles, California. It paints the entire area with a solid color which can make the map more abstract and remove the focus from the individual person. However, the dot density map on the right represents one homeless person with a single point which instantly makes the map more relatable. The map’s story is more personal and reveals detailed patterns and concentrations of homeless people in downtown Los Angeles and south of Santa Monica.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":658692,"id":658692,"title":"Predominance vs. Dot Density","filename":"predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","filesize":256887,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/map-viewer-dot-density\/predominancevsdotdensity-3","alt":"Predominance vs. Dot Density","author":"6751","description":"","caption":"","name":"predominancevsdotdensity-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":657672,"date":"2019-11-18 20:10:20","modified":"2019-11-18 20:10:33","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":1742,"height":924,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":407,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","large-width":1742,"large-height":924,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2-1536x815.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":815,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","2048x2048-width":1742,"2048x2048-height":924,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2-826x438.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":438,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/predominanceVSdotdensity-2.jpg","wide_image-width":1742,"wide_image-height":924}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Blend colors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes a location will contain a mix of categories. In this case, blending comes into play to reveal that more than one category is present in an area . For example, in downtown Los Angeles, there are many unsheltered and<\/em> sheltered homeless people. The blend option combines the red (unsheltered) and the blue (sheltered) to make purple (a combination of the two). Every dot density color ramp was designed with blending in mind.
