Overall, a geographer may choose to use a proportional symbol map over a dot density map when the data being represented is better conveyed through the use of varying symbol sizes to accurately reflect quantitative information, such as percentages or varying sizes and intensities of a subject. Additionally, a proportional symbol map would be more suitable when the information remains consistent across similar locations and changes gradually over different distances.
