Benefits & pitfalls to avoid
- Shaded maps can emphasise large areas much more than small ones - for example highlighting rural areas over urban, if fixed population areas such as Super Output Areas are shown. Consider providing an alternate mode in which values are represented by circles, or values are scaled by the area size (ie showing density).
Create your own
- Chloropleth maps can be created in a range of desktop GIS applications such as MapInfo and ArcGIS.
