Choropleth Map



A choropleth map is a type of thematic map in which the color shading is directly proportional to the amount that the variable of interest is present in different areas being studied. The map above shows the estimated medium household incomes for each state in the US. For example, California is shaded darker than Missouri, showing that the estimated medium income in California is higher than in Missouri.
