Unclassed Choropleth map


This image is a map of France and is called a unclassed choropleth map because although there is data that is able to be broken down and "ranked" in a sense, there are no clear boundary lines or groups, it is more of just a continuous scale that displays different, very small, changes within a specific category. This map type is always important because although the classed choropleth map can help but putting things into distinct categories and therefore helping to reduce some of the confusion if there were any small anomalies or whatnot, with the unclassed map, a more detailed look is able to be gained and the true range can be really seen and studied, with nothing which is "glossed" over.
