choropleth map

I thought this was an interesting choropleth map of the U.S. It represents the average number of males per 100 females, state by state. I thought there would be more red on this map. But really, what's up with Nevada?

This a population density map of Australia. I found it interesting to compare the population density map of Australia with the map of recorded shark attacks for this country. It makes sense that a region as notorious as Australia for Great White shark attacks has corresponding population to attacks data. The areas that are colored in red have the highest recorded shark attacks on file, followed by blue and green respectively. The photo at the top is one that I came across... thought it would provoke some sort of "holy s#*t" reaction. :)

Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia

another dandy exercise.
