Week 3-Lab-Data Classification

Four Classification Maps
I learned in this exercise that using the different methods can portray the data in different ways and that it is up to the cartographer to make an analysis that is the most accurate for the data.

Quantile Method

The method that I thought was the most appropriate for this exercise was the Quantile Method. This method is based on the number of observations and divides the number of observations between the number of classes. Since this was census data, I felt that the data would have the least chance of being skewed if it was categorized equally among the observations.
