The maps presented above, illustrate the distribution of the African American population throughout Escambia County, FL. Each map was created using a different method of classifying data, including; natural brake, standard deviation, equal interval and quantile.
I
think that the Natural Brake method would be best to present the data to the broadest
range of audiances.
It seems that the standard deviation
method is too vague in expressing the information it tries to communicate. The
quantile method has too great of a range for the highest value in the legend,
and the equal interval method too great of a range for the first value making
the map look very plain. The natural brake method map looks detailed in expressing
the spread of the values across the county, and also at expressing the patterns
of increase and decrease throughout Escambia County.
