Proportional circle maps are proportional symbol maps that use circles specifically.  It is a widely-used form of thematic mapping that compares many areas in a geographic region, states in this example.  Each area is then given a circle proportional to the data being processed.  In this example, the circles are comparing population and federal expenditures by state.
