Unstandardized Choropleth Map


Unstandardized choropleth maps are thematic maps that display data sets as raw numbers. The data are represented by their original value, instead of being averaged. They do not use data based on percentages. The map above shows the distribution of churches of eight different denominations of Christianity across the United States. The data is represented for each county in the USA. The Baptist denomination in the southern states is a large concentration of the same denomination in one region, while the Catholic faith is quite pervasive throughout the country.
