Choropleth maps are thematic maps, which only express one set of data as opposed to showing many sets of data. This map qualifies as a choropleth map as it shows only one set of data, which is the percent of people in the state of Florida who are Hispanic or Latino (of any race) based on 2000 Census data. The percentage of each Florida county is represented by colors depicted in the map's legend. When observing one specific set of data over a state, or even an entire country, choropleth maps can be highly useful to visually depict differences in that set of data with the use of colors.
