Choropleth Map



A choropleth map is a type of thematic map in which areas are shaded in proportion to the measurement of the data being displayed in the map. Although they are based on statstical data, the data collected is shown over previously defined regions.
In this example, the variations are among the divorce rates between 1980 and 1990 at both the state and county level.
