Hi Pete, 
 
I would suggest you calculate the ratio of men to women, or vice versa, as is 
your preference. 
 
Thematically map this derived value setting an inflection point at zero to 
distinguish between which of the two genders are more numerous.

G'day All Listers,

We have been asked to thematically map gender distribution (Percentages of 
Male/Female) from Australian Bureau of Statistics - Census data collection 
areas on the one map.

We have tried the Pie chart Thematic map but it does not allow for labelling 
the pie slices with the percentages.  We have also tried bivariate thematic 
using dots and region ranges,  this was also difficult to interpret.

Have any of you had to do a similar thematic mapping exercise or do you have 
any thought as to how we can accomplish this task(tools, methodologies, etc).  
We are still running MapInfo V7.8.

Your help is always appreciated

Pete
