A statistical map uses colors and legends to display statistical information and ranges for the information being analyzed. In this statistical map, the United States Census Bureau is trying to show where the most population change in both metropolitan and micropolitan areas in the United States has changed over a 5 year period. Using the shading from lightest to darkest to indicated the lowest to highest amount of population change and the legend to reinforce the statistical numbers, the chartographer was effective in conveying his or her message.
