This map is a dot density map, showing the population distribution of the United States and Puerto Rico in 2010. The map is geared towards showing where most people reside in this country. This information is good to know for many reasons, such as in politics. A presidential candidate can look at a map like this, and learn where to focus their campaigning to reach the most people.
