Map of Australia by state or territory, one number per state or territory

About this template

Data: one row per state or territory with its ISO 3166-2 code (AU-NSW for New South Wales, AU-VIC for Victoria) or its name, and a number. A state or territory with no row stays grey. Same design as the other country maps, so they sit side by side.

A choropleth map of the states, provinces or regions of Australia (ISO 3166-2 codes), each region filled by one number from your data (the "population" column).

A sequential colour scale from pale blue for the smallest values to deep navy blue for the largest; pinned to 200000 to 9000000, so values beyond the ends take the end colour and the colour bar says ≤ and ≥; a gradient colour bar below the map, with its labels underneath; values formatted in compact form (1.2k, 3.4M), 1 decimal; on a white canvas (#ffffff) with near-black text — a light theme; 0.6-unit hairline outlines between regions.

The title and description are left-aligned above the chart. Font: Inter (the default); a source line with a link sits at the bottom, with the chartlink badge in the corner.

Data: 2 columns — state (string, "State or territory (ISO 3166-2 code or name)"), population (number, "Estimated resident population, March 2026") — and 8 rows in the example "Population of Australia's states and territories, 2026". Regions are named by ISO 3166-2 region codes or region names; a region with no row stays unfilled in grey, and an unknown code fails loudly with the nearest matches. Your data keeps the same column ids and every other setting comes from the template; an agent can change any of them.
