Standardized choropleth map


A standardized choropleth map is one that has been areally averaged. This map was areally averaged by using percentages, where all data is relativized to a scale of 0-100. This map shows the percetange of respondants from each county that call soft drinks either "soda," "coke," or "pop." It seems most of the North prefers to call soft drinks "pop" where most of the south east calls soft drinks "coke," and then the northeast corner and southwest corner prefer "coke." I though this was pretty interesting.
