Roughly 1500 dots were manually added using Adobe Illustrator to a map of Florida representing housing unit density. Each dot represents 4 units of density because the lowest density was around 4 units per square mile.
The highest density areas really became solid color as there was not enough room to fit all dots in a coalesced manner. If the ratio was increased then low density counties would not get a dot even though they do have housing density. If the dots were made smaller then they were barely visible. A compromise was made to make the dots .5 points and use a color that was visible to try and offset the problems. This worked to a point but still not perfect in my estimation.
You made a good decision. You could also increase your dot value therby using less dots.
