Choropleth Map



A choropleth map is a thematic map that displays information based on shading of the areas and data being displayed.   It often comes with a legend for the measurements of each level of shading. The map above is a choropleth map of the US, with the color coded legend underneath in quintiles, showing the percentage of individuals living in poverty by county in 2000.
