Unstandardized Choropleth maps are choropleth maps that are not areally averaged, meaning that they use the raw data collected and create a map based on that, with no standardization involved. The data is not portrayed in even amounts like a standardized map would be portrayed as. This example of a unstandardized choropleth map that shows the vote percentage difference in the U.S presidential election as related to voter turnout. As you can see, from the statistics, that there is no standardization here, also under the margin of victory for George Bush there are 5 different shades of red, compared to, only, 3 different shades of blue for John Kerry. These are not even, on a standardized map, there would be even shades and average numbers that are the same. Also, an addition to this map shows the voter turnout by state by a percentage, that part of this map, is standardized but that is just an additional representation on the map.
