What are bivariate choropleth maps?
• Maps that simultaneously show two variables using the choropleth map method - Choropleth maps use polygon fills to represent
quantitative values - Greek χώρο– + πλήθ[ος]
- “choro” (area/region) + “pleth” = quantity/increase

What are the considerations when you use choropleth maps?
• Choropleth maps give the impression of - Uniformity in data within the data collection units - Abrupt breaks that occur at the unit boundaries
• Use quantitative values that are spatially intensive (do not depend on the size of the unit area)

The purpose of multivariate mapping
• To display more than one variable simultaneously • To allow for estimation of the degree or spatial pattern of cross-correlation between variables
• Effectiveness of a method is related to readability and accurate representation of the data

Cross-variable mapping
• Simultaneously depict magnitude of variables within homogeneous area for multiple map themes - Bivariate mapping - Trivariate mapping

Cross-variable mapping
• Limitations - Because the number of
classes the human eye can distinguish is limited, cross-variable mapping is generally restricted to combinations of either two or three variables
- Appropriate symbol (color) selection is important for map readability
• Advantages - This technique is useful for
simultaneously displaying a few variables (two or three)
• Recommendations - It is often useful to also
provide separate maps of each of the variables shown on the bi- or trivariate map

Two ways to do this in ArcMap
• Bivariate renderer - Use this to render the
data on-the-fly - Use this to create a live
legend (linked to the renderer)
• Bivariate script tool - Use this to calculate the
quantile classes in the feature class
- Use the Match to Symbols in a Style renderer
- Use the LegendMaker.mxd to make the legend
