Thematic

I created this map via ArcGIS

This is a thematic map that shows the concentration of Asian Americans in the United States in 2000.  This map could also be a classed choropleth map because the populations are divided into seven different classes and represented in densities; however, I think it is more of a thematic map because it has a cultural theme over a geographic area.  I have listed and highlighted the top 12 states with the most concentrations of Asians with California, New York, and Texas being top three with 500,000 and greater.  I uploaded the data and shapefiles from my GIS Tutorial Updated for ArcGIS 9.3.
