Unstandardized Choropleth map is a thematic map that displays data sets as raw numbers. Instead of averaging the data, it is represented as its original value.The specific example above, the numbers are raw percentages instead of equal categorical values. There are more shades of red than blue, there are no even amount of intervals. The above map shows the election outcome for John Kerry and George Bush in 2004.
