Lab 5: Grayscale Choropleth Maps

Lab 5: Grayscale Choropleth Maps 




For my two versions I did a natural-breaks map and an equal-interval map.  There is a significant difference between the two. The natural breaks map seems to have a more even distribution between the five classifications, while the equal interval map has a high concentration in two of the classifications, and only a few in the others. The natural breaks map looks better aesthetically to me, but it might have misleading information. The even interval might be better, because it gives a more realistic view of the information, which is that many states have about the same ratio of exotic animal incidents.
