The map above is a Florida counties map showing a percent of people who are hispanic or latino living in those areas in the year 2000. A choropleth map is also a thematic map (which is easy to visualize) that shows shaded or patterned areas in proportion to a measurement of statistical numbers that is being displayed on a map.
