Map with Bubbles

A bubble map of world population in 2011: each country gets a bubble at its center, sized by its population and colored by continent.

  • Hover a bubble for the population

About this map

When a bubble map works

Bubbles show amounts at places without coloring whole countries, so a big country with few people gets a small bubble, not a big patch of color. The map finds the visual center of each country and puts its bubble there. In crowded regions the bubbles overlap; zoom in to separate them.

Good for

  • Population, sales or users by country
  • Totals that have nothing to do with area
  • A few big values at a glance

Think twice when

  • Rates and shares: color the countries instead
  • Exact values: a sorted bar chart
  • Small countries packed together: zoom in or cluster
For developers

Built with amCharts 5, a JavaScript library. The JavaScript includes your theme and renderer (canvas or SVG); the JSON also follows the changes you make with the controls.
