What it is
Choropleth Map ditches the wonky shapefile rendering and lays out US states or world countries as a tile grid. Sequential, diverging, or binned color scales; square, rounded, hex, or circular tiles. Click a tile to cross-filter the page.
What it does
Accepts state abbreviations/names or ISO-2/ISO-3 country codes. Sequential/diverging/binned color, tile shape options, legend positioning, tooltip metric, cross-filter on click.
Why use it
Real-world map projections under-represent small dense states (hello, RI) and over-emphasize large empty ones. Tile grids give every entity equal voice.
Three ways teams use it
Sales
Revenue by state with the top 5 tiles called out.
Marketing
CPL by country across a global campaign.
Public sector
Indicator by region without distorting Alaska.
