US Population Choropleth Map



I chose the Albers Equal Area Conic for the contiguous US and the Albers Equal Area Conic for Alaska and Hawaii respectively. This is a commonly used projection for the US. A color scheme from Color Brewer was chosen to accent the unipolar, sequential scheme of the data. The intervals were adjusted to more realistically represent the population changes.
