Choropleth Maps

A choropleth map visually represents data across geographic areas by shading or coloring regions according to a specific value or metric. For example, regions with higher income levels might be darker, while lower-income areas are lighter. This type of map helps illustrate patterns, differences, or trends across an area, making complex data easier to interpret at a glance. It’s commonly used in demographics, economics, health statistics, and other fields to show how variables vary spatially.
