Arcgis Map

[Anonymous]

One of my users is asking a question about an Arcgis map that we use to show value by zip, larger circles for higher value areas. In viewing the map they've noticed the circles are the same size in different areas even though the values are much different. In the example below the circle for an area in Montana (approx $300k) is around the same size as the circle in an area for New York City ($12mil):

My assumption is that the size is mainly reflective of the value relative to each area but want to make sure I fully understand before giving that answer. Is that the case with these visuals?

It can depend on how you have classified the data. If you did so with 5 breaks, anything beyond 300k could be the same size. So you need to look at how that is setup and defined.

HI @Anonymous ,

The ArcGIS map has an option called "Size" and that is the value that determines the size of the circle/dot.  So, whatever you put in that value is what determines the size of the circle on the map.
