Nominal Area Choropleth



Nominal Area Choropleths are maps where the data is qualitative (categorical) and not quantitative. The data is classified into groups such as gender, ethnicity or religion. Their is no ordering to the classes, meaning they are not ranked. The data collected to provide nominal results is arealy averaged and this can be misleading to the viewer. This map is showing the degree of progress made in each county of North Carolina with regard to architectural surveys.
