A standardized choropleth map calculates the population per square mile, normalizing its data to a certain area. The data is in form of a percentage, and is represented with shades of colors so that this mapping technique can easily be compared. This map references the percentage of population aged 14 and younger in Canada. Viewers can glance at this and see that the darkest shade of green is generally in the center while the lighter shades (indicating low population of teenagers) are on the border/coast of the country. This map is a thematic map that focus on a single theme with a set of statistical data in an area.
