Unclassed Choropleth Maps


An unclassed choropleth map, as stated in the name is another type of choropleth map, a map that uses differences in shading, coloring, or the placing of symbols within predefined areas to indicate the average values of a property or quantity in those areas.  In an unclassed choropleth map a distinctive feature of unclassed choropleth maps is that each unique value has a unique shading of color and of course unclassed choropleth maps made it possible to create choropleth maps without classifying the data.  As you can see from the above map of the 2004 presidential election, the key is a gradient and specific numbers do not have specific colors, hence this is an unclassed choropleth map.
