Unstandardized Choropleth Map

An unstandardized choropleth map is another thematic map that displays data sets with shading and coloring.  In an unstandardized choropleth map the data sets are shown as raw numbers. Instead of averaging the data, in an unstandardized choropleth map, it is represented as its original value.  The above map is an unstandardized choropleth map illustrating unemployment in the United States in the year 2008.  Using this map you can infer that the state of Michigan has the highest number of unemployed citizens.
