PROC GMAP

[epi_econ_code]

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?Help to change this block into a 2-D 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.

Not sure how to code for adding the count as bubble (I am new to using PROC GMAP)
I used the following code to get the current map: legend1 label=(f=swissb j=c '% of households who need meals') across=4 down=2 frame position=(top center
inside);
legend2 label=(f=swissb j=c 'Number of school meal programs') across=3 down=1 frame position=(bottom center
inside);
title h=4 f=swissb 'Availability of meal programs and percentage of households in need';
proc gmap data = ccs2019 map=maps.us ;

id state;
area les_tert/legend=legend1;
block ccs_count/levels=3 legend=legend2 ;
format les_tert les_tert.;
run;
quit;

@GraphGuy I came across your solution for other graph-related questions. Is this something you can help with? I really would appreciate it.
