Thanks for the suggestion! So it's a matter of manually aggregating (grouping) cities, which I could also do by including an additional field in the data such as "subregion" or similar". I was asking if there's a way to automatically merge based on geographic proximity, clustering similar locations together (particularly as you zoom out on the map view).

This functionality needs to be added. Bubbles should merge and separate based on the zoom level of the map. The typical zoomed out map of the US is not as useful as it could be.
