Unclassed Choropleth Map

(middle of page)

An unclassed choropleth map is useful to show data for a country overall without getting into specific counties or states. An unclassed choropleth map does not deal with averaging out data to a certain amount of classes so it uses a continuous tone scheme to represent data in a blotchy amorphous way. Unclassed choropleth maps are not restricted with boundaries so that there is an accurate yet unorganized general view of how data is represented for a region. The image shown above is an example of an unclassed choropleth map where the continuous tone scheme represents concentrations of women who are 50-64 years old have more than three children over the country as a whole.
