Using American Community Survey to Understand Your Community

The customization options that appear and are displayed in Figure 12 allow us to change the map color scale, the number of categories in our map legend, and the size of the categories that we map. In this example, we select a red color scheme, keep the number of data categories at five (experiment with increasing and decreasing the number of categories!), and change the classification type. Selecting “equal interval” provides category ranges of the same range.
