Range graded proportional circle map

https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog160/c3_p14.html
A range graded proportional circle map uses a set of circles that represent a certain amount and include a legend.  These circles measure a variable and are proportionate to the value measured, unlike continuously graded proportional circle maps that use a scale. An example of this can be seen above in this map depicting unemployment in the US in the year 2000. Each circle represents a range and only five different sized circles will be found on the map.
