Census tracts styled with a relationship renderer showing the geographic relationship between household size and home value
What is a relationship style?Also known as a bivariate choropleth map, you can use a relationship style to explore the potential relationship between two numeric attributes. It overlays two sequential color schemes, each associated with a range of values to color features based on how each variable is classified in relation to the other.
Keep in mind that even if you observe a positive relationship between the two variables of interest, it doesn't mean they are statistically correlated. It also doesn't imply that the presence of one variable influences the other. Therefore, this renderer should be used judiciously with some prior knowledge that two variables may likely be related.
How a relationship style worksThis renderer classifies each variable in either 2, 3, or 4 classes along separate color ramps. One of those ramps is rotated 90 degrees and overlaid on the other to create a 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 square grid. The x-axis indicates the range of values for one variable, and the y-axis indicates the range for the second variable. The squares running diagonal from the lower left corner to the upper right corner indicate features where the two variables may be related or in agreement with one another.
The legend of a relationship renderer resembles a grid of two single-hue sequential color ramps overlaid on each other, forming a third hue along a diagonal line, which indicates where the two variables could potentially be related.
The lower right and upper left corners indicate features where one field has high values and the other field low values and vice versa.
Examples 3x3 gridThe following example shows the geographic relationship between average household size and average home value using a 3x3 relationship color scheme. Expand the legend in the top-right corner of the map to view where both variables could be related, and where they are not.
To create a relationship map, you need to request the renderer from the relationship Smart Mapping module.
NoteThe relationship style is generated using a Smart Mapping renderer creator method. Smart Mapping consists of more than a dozen APIs that generate renderers specific to an input dataset.
