Another type of choropleth map, the standardized map's data is conformed to a standard.  The data is areally averaged for more controllable figures.  This standardized choropleth map demonstrates the percentage of population aged 14 and under in Canada by 2006 Census Division.  The map alludes to the fact that the northern territories contain the largest percent of people 14 and under, while the southern areas of Canada that border the United States generally contain an older population.
