Unstandardized Choropleth Map

Standardizing data in Choropleth maps is a method used for comparing the distribution of a variable. Choropleth maps that are unstandardized are represented by a scale that separates different classes but are not ranked and are distinguished from eachother by either symbols or colors. The map below compares the different classes which happens to be the largest minority percentage per state. While the larger percentages are represented in the map the classes in the map are no ranked.
