Bivariate Choropleth Map

A Bivariate Choropleth map is a map that uses a single map to display two variables by combining two different symbol or number sets. This map displays two sets of events simultaneously. The main objective of a bivariate map is to find a simple method for accurately and graphically illustrating the relationship between two spatially distributed variables. 
The map shown compares small multiple maps f cancer rates and amounts of health insurance. Use of the multiple technique will allow the maps viewer to break down the population even further, by race and type of cancer.
