Standardized choropleth maps


Standardized Choropleth Maps use a standad measure so data can be easily compared with different areas of the map. On this map showing the percentage of residents under age 14 in Canada, it is easy to compare the results of the northernmost part of Nunavut to Toronto just my analyzing the colors. This map was found on the Canadian Census website
