    Hi dwel0120 

     

    You could create a measure to count the number of people and put the measure into a map visual as a Tooltips field. When you hover over a location, it will display in the pop-up tooltip. Or you can put it in a card visual. And use a table visual to display the contact information of people. When selecting a location in the map, the card visual and table visual will be filtered to show data related to the selected location. 

     

    If you use built-in maps, you may consider using Basic Map or ArcGIS Map to display people as dots. You can also try some custom map visuals.
