Unstandardized Choropleth Map

Unstandardized Choropleth Maps are not areal averaged but simply stated as is. This type of mapping usually results in data being misread and chaotic.

The map shown is an Unstandardized Choropleth Map of "Europe Forest Area" per country. The lighter the color green the less forest area there is. The darker the color green the more forest area there is. Because the map is unstandardized we cannot tell where the forests lie. We only know the percentage of area that is covered.
