Choropleth map


Choropleth are the most commonly used method of thematic mapping. They are suited for charting phenomena that are evenly distributed within each area. This map shows the Percent of People who are Hispanic per county in Florida based on Census data from 2000. The data is divided up into 5 natural breaks. That means the groups are divided into unequally sized groups that attempt to group like data together.
