Classed Choropleth Map



A classed choropleth map uses shading and other techniques to represent data in groups or classes. A classed choropleth map usually uses a mono-color light to dark technique where the lighter shade represents less of the target data and darker shades of the color represent more of the targeted data in the specific area. Classed choropleth maps are usually shown to represent survey data and census information.The image shown above is a classed choropleth map that has six classes and classifies the counties in Australia by deaths per one thousand live births.
