Standardized choropleth map


This is a map of the United States that shows the population of each state based on the size of the state. What makes this map standardized is the fact that it is aerially averaged. What I mean by that is it shows the population of a state basedon it's area. California has the largest population in the United States but you wouldn't know that by looking at this map because states like New york and New Jersey fit more people per area available.
