Map of the United States by county, one number per county, with the state borders

About this template

Data: one row per county with the 5-digit FIPS code (06037 for Los Angeles County — keep the leading zero) and a number. Puerto Rico's municipios have FIPS codes starting 72; Connecticut's nine planning regions replaced its counties in 2022 and have codes 09110 to 09190. A county with no row stays grey. State borders are drawn on top so the counties read inside their states. Same design as the state, district and metro maps, so the four can sit side by side.

A choropleth map of the counties of the United States (3,222 counties, boroughs, parishes, Connecticut's planning regions and Puerto Rico's municipios, by FIPS code), each region filled by one number from your data (the "income" column). The borders of the US states and Puerto Rico are drawn on top of the regions in dark navy blue, 0.5 units wide, so the finer regions read inside their larger units.

A sequential colour scale from pale blue for the smallest values to deep navy blue for the largest; pinned to 40000 to 150000, 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 as USD amounts, in compact form (1.2k, 3.4M), 0 decimals; on a white canvas (#ffffff) with near-black text — a light theme; 0.25-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 — county (string, "County (5-digit FIPS)"), income (number, "Average AGI per return ($)") — and 3,143 rows in the example "Average income per tax return by county, 2021". Regions are named by 5-digit county FIPS codes (or "County name, ST"); 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.
