Standardized Choropleth Map

Figure 3.1 Standard choropleth map

 Standardized choropleth maps normalize data according to a certain area. They analyze data in the form of a percent so that areas of varying size can be compared to one another. In the choropleth map catagory, the standardized map is a better mapping technique for analyzing data because of the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). This map shows the percentage of children under the age of 14 in Canada.
