Data you need

  • A place or boundary identifier that matches Europe.
  • A comparable rate, percentage, category, or normalized value for each area.
  • A meaningful color direction or midpoint that matches the subject of the data.
  • A title, units, source, and short note explaining definitions or limitations.

How to make a similar map

  1. Prepare one row per mapped place and match it to Europe; use stable geographic codes when available.
  2. Upload the CSV and confirm the location and value fields in Data check. Remove duplicates or unmatched rows before continuing.
  3. Choose a choropleth and start with the continuous color treatment; adjust the palette only if its direction supports the meaning of the values.
  4. Add labels, stat cards, and source notes only where they aid interpretation. Use the map/table toggle when both views matter but space is limited.
