Choropleth map of Spanish-speaking countries

If you have one figure for every Spanish-speaking country on the map, this page can shade them by it. Paste two columns from your spreadsheet, the country and its value, and Make my map opens the map with the 20 countries coloured by your numbers. The colours above are sample values until you paste your own.

What it shows

A choropleth shades each area by a value, usually darker for more, and a legend explains the shades. With 20 countries you can compare them at a glance. It reads best with rates and does not give exact figures, so keep a table beside it if the numbers matter.

Data people map here

Language-learning companies map enrolments per person by country. Market researchers map orders, customers or survey scores for a Spanish-language campaign. Education teams map school results or reading levels. A course provider can use the Categories method to mark where its course is offered, with one colour per delivery partner.

Getting your data in

One row per country: the name in the first column, the value in the second. English or Spanish names and ISO 3166 codes all match. Unmatched rows are listed to fix, skip or remember. The blank spreadsheet on this page has all 20 rows. A paste can hold 5,000 rows and 2 MB, far more than 20 rows need.

Colours

Three or four steps are enough for 20 countries. Quantile puts a similar number of countries in each step, and Equal steps gives each step the same range of values. A one-colour scale suits figures that run from low to high; a two-colour scale suits change above and below a midpoint. Only the 20 members take a value; for figures covering every country, not only these 20, use the choropleth map of the world instead.
