Demographers typically use the following types of maps to show population density:
1. **Choropleth maps with shaded areas** - These maps display different levels of population density using varying shades or colors to represent different ranges of density.
2. **Dot density maps with dots in different numbers** - These maps use dots to represent a certain number of people or population units, allowing for a visual representation of population distribution.
3. **Graduated point maps with circles in different sizes** - These maps use circles of different sizes to represent different population sizes or densities, providing a clear visual comparison.
Resource maps and topographic maps are generally not used specifically for showing population density. Therefore, they would not apply in this context.
