Million and One Ways to Make a Multivariate Map

[@xaylor7654]

Thanks so much. It's very useful

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

You bet!

Awesome Video, loved the bar charts the most! This is becoming one of my favorite channels and my go to for when I need inspiration on my next map!

Hey thanks so much Chris!

[@ava.artemis]

Thank you! I love your knowledge and the joy you obviously find in maps. I have a lot to learn - including how to make a legend that neatly displays multivariate symbology when there are lots of layers involved.

Thanks Ava!

Trying to reproduce John's (Nelson) symbol offsets to produce symbology similar to the Happiness Circles. I cannot locate any offset setting in the Symbology interface. Suggestions?

[@DaleWhite-q5g]

I've built a trivariate choropleth map but cannot seem to have Pro generate the legend. I am doing work for State of Michigan EGLE on stream flashiness. So, I am embarking on building one myself and mimicking your design in your online vice map (obesity, smoking, excessive drinking). I've searched everywhere for assistance; nothing shows in ESRI. So asking if anyone can lend a hand and suggest how to proceed?

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

hi Dale! legends for weird maps like this in Pro are difficult because we're pushing the edges of what they are designed to support. i rarely use Pro's legends but prefer to make them by hand either in the Pro layout or in illustrator. feel free to swipe the graphic i made for a legend in this set of maps, and swap out the text for whatever you need: adventuresinmapping.com/2018/10/31/cmyk-vice/

@@JohnNelsonMaps Thanks, John. I may try that - I lose some fidelity. I built one in a Pro layout though I don't have the blending as shown in yours. ESRI support suggests I document a request for enhancement.

Funny story. I have been trying to make a bi variate choropleth map for days now in ArcGis Pro. But when I clicked on symbology, bivariate colors wasn't showing up in the drop down list. Then I started watching this and suddenly it was there! A few minutes later I was done with my map.

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

what that's crazy!

Hello John, where is the actual happiness data that you have used in the video. On the link in the description I can only seem to find the actual report itself.

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

I joined the table to a geographic point layer. you can find all the results here: nation.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c018365caf3d47d8b41a7b9374c82499

Only 2 years late here lol. How do you have a option for bivariate choropleth in the symbology tab? I only have graduated colors, graduated symbols, i classes colors, prop. Symbols, dot density and charts under the “symbolize your layer by quantity. Thanks!

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

check out this specific portion of the video, i think it addresses what you are looking for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojYdnt4jtZnpa8

John, great video thank you. I am wanting to do a multivariable symbol for different race/ethnicity within census tracts. What was your offset setting for the radial array rings to get them proportionately spaced? Thanks

[@JohnNelsonMaps]

thanks Brad! it depends on the number of symbols that you want to offset radially. i forgot to show that part in the video, sorry. i intended to. you can find the x/y offsets i used for my symbols here: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/analytics/analytics/happy-maps/

I cannot make myself leave ArcGIS Desktop and Arcscene, I suppose I will be forced soon. Although I've gotten really quite good using QGIS, but if I ever move back into a larger workplace I'll be forced back to ESRI
