Lab 7: Choropleth



Lab 7 calls for the creation of two choropleth maps, each having a different classification scheme for how the data is depicted. In this case, the original data set (the percent of housing units in each state built in 2005 or later) appeared to suit itself very well to both natural breaks and equal intervals. In fact, it happened that both schemes came out so close that only Utah is changed. It would have been interesting to have more of a difference between the two maps, but I felt as though equal intervals and natural breaks divided the data fairly evenly and made for sensible looking maps.
