This is my second choropleth map. I feel a lot better about it than the first. The legend has been corrected from the first map, as well as a new layout that makes more since. I chose the Albers equal area projection for this, as I believe area to be the most prudent attribute for a choropleth. What I don't like is the size of Alaska. I was tempted to shrink Alaska, but I know that my scale would be off, so I nixed that idea.
I realize that we're not supposed to add decorative features, but my map feels empty to me. I originally had a neat line, but didn't like the look of it.
