Univariate Choropleth

 

I created this map via ArcMap

This is a univariate choropleth map showing female literacy rates by province in Afghanistan during the years 2007 and 2008.  The lighter colors show a lower literacy rate by percentage and the darker colors showing a higher literacy rate.  A univariate map displays one variable on a geographic projection such as the one above.  I created this map using ArcGIS and downloaded the shapefiles from geocommons.com.
