A choropleth map (from Ancient Greek χῶρος (khôros) 'area, region' and πλῆθος (plêthos) 'multitude') is a type of statistical thematic map that uses pseudocolor, meaning color corresponding with an aggregate summary of a geographic characteristic within spatial enumeration units, such as population density or per-capita income.
An example would be showing one variable as a choropleth map, with another variable shown as proportional symbols on top of the choropleth. A correlated symbol map represents two or more variables in the same thematic map layer, using the same visual variable, designed in such a way as to show the relative combination of the two variables. A ...
Gradient maps (scientific name: Choropleth) are a light and basic visualisation of spacial areas and their associated values for a single thematic issue, by example the population density by country. Gradient maps need 3 key things: 1. a solidly sourced list of regions⇔values for one issue, 2. a map displaying these regions, 3. a sequential ...
For area cartograms, it is very common to fill each district with a color as a choropleth map. For example, WorldMapper has used this technique to map topics relating to global social issues, such as poverty or malnutrition; a cartogram based on total population is combined with a choropleth of a socioeconomic variable, giving readers a clear ...
A dasymetric map is an alternative to a choropleth map. As with a choropleth map, data are collected by enumeration units. But instead of mapping the data so that the region appears uniform, ancillary information is used to estimate a more detailed distribution of the phenomenon within each enumeration unit. For example, land cover data (forest ...
The dataset should be stored at Wikimedia commons, in the Data namespace, as a tabular data (.tab) file. Currently, the file format should be JSON, representing a three column table, where the first column is the three-letter ISO country code, the second is the year and the third is the value.
A choropleth map is a thematic map in which areas are colored differently to show the measurement of a statistical variable being displayed on the map. The choropleth map provides an easy way to visualize how a measurement varies across a geographic area or it shows the level of variability within a region. In addition to choropleth maps, a ...
Similarly, heat maps may also visualize data over a geographic region. However, unlike choropleth maps, heat maps show the proportion of a variable over an arbitrary, but usually small grid size, independent of geographic boundaries. [24] [25] The figure on the right displaying a heat map of world population is an example. The figure ...
