Univariate Maps


     A univariate choropleth map is a type of thematic map in which the non-location data is all of the same kind; they only display a single variable. Population density, annual rainfall, and birth rates are all examples of univariate data. This map example shown represents the percentage of Americans living in poverty in different rural countries within the United States in 2008; people in the south seem to have higher poverty rates than those living in the north.
