Classed Choropleth Map


A classes choropleth map uses colors to show different degrees of a certain variable across a particular area. These maps are very effective because they are easy to understand and allow people to compare neighboring areas. In this example, the state of Florida is being divided up and classified into the counties with the most Hispanic or Latino people living there. The darker the green, the more Hispanic or Latin influence.
