Standardized Choropleth Map



A standardized choropleth map utilizes state and country boundaries to delineate and separate areas. County areas then have their own saturated color separate from the country. All countries can use standardized choropleth maps because all countries have a type of governmental subdivision similar to counties that have their own representative data unique to themselves. Counties next to each other may have the same color, but it doesn't mean they have the same data. Standardized choropleth maps are simple to read and can help make governmental decisions as well as educate the public about their own county and country statistics overall. The image above is an example of a standardized choropleth map that utilizes county and country boundaries to distinguish data for Canada separated from the United States.
