How do I interpret the symbols in the county-level estimates maps?
Symbols used in the dot-density maps represent the different levels of the scale. The smallest dots represent the lowest level of the scale whereas the largest dots represent the highest level of the scale. Small to large squares of different colors (blue, orange, red) were used in bivariate maps to represent the gradation of percentage of adults with diabetes by total number of adults with diabetes. For example, the lowest percentage of adults with diabetes or who are obese by the lowest total number of adults with diabetes or who are obese is denoted by small blue squares. The highest percentage of adults with diabetes or who are obese by the highest total number of adults with diabetes or who are obese is denoted by large red squares.
