Classified Choropleth maps are thematic maps that use color to identify the differences in the theme of the map. The raw data is divided up in to classes, with each class having its own color. In the map above Florida is divided in to counties. The map displays the Hispanic population based on percent of the population. From the map you can easily see that the southern Florida has a much larger Hispanic population than the rest of Florida. Choropleth maps are designed to easily break down data into classes so that the data can easily be mapped.
