This is a dot density map of New Jersey representing the population and where they resided in 1990. Dot density maps are used to show the distribution of a certain variable throughout an area. On this map, each dot represents 500 people, so the areas on the map where there is a thick density of dots represent the most popular areas to live: the most populated areas here were near New York City, Philadelphia, Trenton, and Seaside. I live just west of Seaside and can honestly say that even still today, 23 years later, this trend lasts.
