What Are Heat Maps

Heat maps (also known as choropleth maps) use colors and shades to display levels of data occurrence per geographic region or per incidence of that data.

If you've ever seen regional population densities expressed on a map, it’s likely you were looking at a heat map. High population is typically expressed by dark shades, while low population levels are expressed by graded shades of a lighter color. What colors or shades you use on heat maps depends on the data being expressed.
