When to use this template
A choropleth map effectively highlights the geographic distribution and intensity of a single numeric variable across countries. Analysts use it to quickly identify global patterns, regional clusters, and outliers in country-level data, revealing spatial relationships that might be obscured in tabular formats.
- Country-level data identified by 3-letter ISO codes
- A single quantitative measure per country
- Data representing a specific point in time or aggregated period
- Global or multi-country scope
- Values suitable for a continuous color scale
- Cross-sectional data, not time-series for individual countries
