Lab 4 part 2

 

For this map I chose the classification method of Natural Jenks. This choice was through trail and error of my other leading choice of manual intervals. At first I set mutual intervals of 8 classes breaking the data up by 10s. This ended up being a not so great choice when discovering that most of the data fell between below 0 and 10. To be able to see the variations of data I went with natural jenks. This allowed the data to be conveyed in a more intuitive way. With the formula choosing naturally occurring clusters so the value changes from below 0 and 10 are in different classes and are represented in the map. I chose 8 classes to not group all large values in one class break.

For my legend I changed the percentages to whole numbers to make it easier to read. The colors I chose were red to blue, because these are the colors of the American flag. I added the percent sign after each values to clearly depict these values being percentages
