Univariate Choropleth Maps


Univariate Choropleth maps use basic choropleth mapping techniques to illustrate the distribution of one single variable through shades of color or patterns. The above map shows the distribution of average/median household income for states across the US. Each range of income is represented by a different color, and each state is colored according to where they fall in these ranges.
