U.S. Population between the Ages of 18 and 21

U.S. Population between the Ages of 18 and 21 by DakotaDorn

This was my first ArcGis only map that I have made.  After doing choropleth mapping on Adobe Illustrator and then learning how to do it on ArcGis, it is so much easier!  ArcGis allows you to make a choropleth map in a mere minute or two instead of a couple hours.  Doing a choropleth map of the entire country by county on Illustrator would take a very long time. Another cool feature is the ability to change the class breaks on ArcGis very quickly without having to do any calculations on Excel. The legend on this map was also very easy.  All that needed to be done was click a button and then adjust the settings for your legend and what you wanted displayed.  I didn't really have too much trouble making this map, it was more of just figuring out how to use ArcGis that took time.
