Classes choropleth maps use shading or patterns of areas to show a measurable variable. The map is shaded or patterned in proportion to what ever is being measured. What sets these maps apart from the others is that the shading is done in set classes or ranges put fourth through the map legend. This is a map that shows the Hispanic population density across the US. What makes it a classed choropleth map is the legend at the bottom that declares the shade color and corresponding numerical value. On this map, the darker the shade, the higher the Hispanic population density.
