Standardized Choropleth Maps


Standardized Choropleth Maps are maps that display areally averaged data. Instead of just representing a total value, the information is standardized to a particular unit, usually area. They use constant methods for dividing the classes and they are normally very simple. The map above looks at the population in Canada that is under 14. Since the map is standardized, it is known that the data is accurate and set up into equal classes.
