When to use this template
This visualization excels at revealing the spatial distribution and patterns of a single quantitative variable across predefined geographic regions. It allows analysts to quickly identify areas with high or low values, spot clusters, and compare regions at a glance. An analyst would reach for this to understand how a metric varies geographically and to uncover potential spatial correlations or anomalies.
- Datasets with a single quantitative measure per geographic region.
- Data where regions are defined by standard geographic boundaries (e.g., GeoJSON).
- Comparing a metric's value across distinct, non-overlapping areas.
- Identifying spatial clusters or disparities in a variable.
- Data suitable for classification into ordered color bins.
- Cross-sectional data representing a single point in time.
