Statistical Classification

The map below utilizes two statistical analyses to classify voter turnouts based on Denver County precincts.   The top map uses an equal interval method for creating breaks for classification, and the bottom map uses a quantile method.  As you are able to see, the utilization of different statistical methods can lead to a different classification distribution and ultimately a different perception of the data by a reader.
