Choropleth Mapping and Classification Methods



When you're making a quantities map, where should you place the classification breaks and how many breaks should you use?

The purpose of this project was to show how different ideas can be presented depending on the Classification Method it's being used to make a Cholorpleth Map. In this case, American Ancestry in North Carolina state was an example of how different the same data can appear. It's clear by seeing the result of this project that Equal Interval usually doesn't have much difference between the features, with few exceptions; on the other hand, when using the quintile, a well distributed color is guaranteed.
