Choropleth Map



A chloropleth map is a type of a thematic map which identifies a statistical variable by geographical area. In this example, we see the results of the 2004 Presidential Election by state. This map shows a number of statistical elements, including the declared winner for each state, the margin by which he won and the voter turnout.


I look forward to adding to this post by updating this particular map in November.
