Abstract

Abstract Distribution maps of social and economic data are frequently used to diagnose the location of areas, requiring public policy and action. The paper demonstrates, with population data, how mapped patterns can often be the products of the size and shape of the spatial and temporal units chosen by the map compiler. The problem is not appreciated by most policy makers.
