Standardized choropleth maps


Choropleth maps portray quantitative data as a color showing the density, percent, average value, or quantity of a phenomenon within the boundary of a geographic area. In a standardized choropleth map the data are standardized so that it may allow the comparison of the distribution among different areas. This particular map deals with the population density of Costa Rica. The distributions are able to be compared to each other.
