Choropleth maps summarizes the distribution of a subject based on boundary lines. This is a choropleth map of Florida and it illustrates the percentage of Hispanic or Latino people that live in the state of Florida by each county. It shows that there are about 1.5%-7.5% of Hispanics or Latinos living in Northern Florida (eg. Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, etc.). But there are significant number of Hispanics and Latinos living in the Southern tip of Florida. This could partly be because there isn't as much border control stopping them from coming in especially on the coasts of Florida.
