Choropleth maps are designed to show how a particular theme is distributed throughout an area. This map was designed to show the significant difference between how Hispanics and Latinos are spread throughout Florida. South Florida counties have a much higher level of Hispanics than do northern counties. Choropleth maps can dramatically change the way they look by adding or subtracting the amount of variables that are given. This particular map has five intervals and I think if you changed it to four it the disparity would be more apparent.
