Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a map using the gmap procedure. I was able to successfully create the map as shown in the attached images. However, the block option allows us to create a 3-D map and the journal I want to publish this in does not accept 3-D graphs. How can I show the counts of the facilities that is shown using the block option in a 2-D format? Basically, how can I incorporate the information coming from two response variables in a choropleth map?
In this paper they use GCHART and add a bar chart with VBAR. Starts on page 12. That might help.

You could also consider using the SGMAP procedure and layering a bubble map on top of a choropleth map background. The result would look something like this:
I would probably actually recommend displaying the same information in two separate choropleth maps: one for % households and one for # of meal programs. Sometimes a simple map does a better job communicating the point, and viewers might find it easier to notice patterns comparing two maps of the same type side-by-side instead of trying to compare a bar and a choropleth map.
@GraphGuy I came across your solution for other graph-related questions. Is this something you can help with? I really would appreciate it.
