Data you need
- A place or boundary identifier that matches World countries.
- 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
- Prepare one row per mapped place and match it to World countries; use stable geographic codes when available.
- Upload the CSV and confirm the location and value fields in Data check. Remove duplicates or unmatched rows before continuing.
- Choose a choropleth and start with the manual color treatment; adjust the palette only if its direction supports the meaning of the values.
- Add labels, stat cards, and source notes only where they aid interpretation. Keep the interactive table beside the map for lookup and selection.
