UNSTANDARDIZED CHOROPLETH MAP

The 2001 Russian population is being represented with this unstandardized choropleth map. They are using the actual numbers without areally averaging them based on the size of each unit or division. This map is from the USAID website which has several different choropleth maps used to illustrate the need for aid in Russia. It would be interesting to compare the same map with population density and see what might change and what might stay the same. Many of the smaller regions have higher population figures so the density would most likely be high also.
