Getting Transparent Circles with Heatmap Plugin

With QGIS, I am trying to create a heatmap from a set of points I added as a layer using the "Add Delimited Text Layer" plugin.

The points are a collection of complaints from around a city and I want to visualize portions of the city that have a higher frequency of complaints.

Using the heatmap plugin, I choose the following options:

  • Input Point Vector: my CSV layer of complaint points
  • Output Raster: heat_map
  • Output Format: GeoTIFF
  • Radius: 1000 meters
  • Decay Ratio: 0.1

I click OK and then choose NAD83, EPSG:4269 for coordinate system.

Next, I get a large grey box with tiny transparent circles.

I've tried switching the color map to pseudocolor and adding a transparent pixel list to make anything with a value of zero appear to be transparent.

Then the whole map disappears.

I'm not getting a heatmap at all and I've followed all of the popular guides I can find with Google.
