Classed Choropleth Map

www.cse.psu.edu/~clowes/eport/project2.html

This map is an example of a classed choropleth map, which is a way of representing data so that it can be broken down into intervals and then portrayed through different colors and such. The above map is a map of the percent of the areas under 5 years of age, divided into 5 groups that range from 5.8-7.1, the darkest green, all the way down to 0-1.4, almost white. In the map above, although it only really shows, in majority the top two intervals, there are a few areas in the third category, but the main importance in this map is that there are intervals that are able to break down data and present it in a manner that helps to make the boundaries of interpreting it easier.
