Statistical maps are a genre of maps that display the comparison of variables across a given geographic area. Any type of map that uses statistics in it's display could be considered to be this kind of map as long as these statistics are being used to compare across an area. The map shown here is an example of a statistical map as it shows a comparison of populations in various “supercities” around the world. From reading these statistics, it is easy to see that the greatest number of people live in supercities along the Indian Ocean's northern coastline and within Western Europe.
