27:null 28:["$","title",null,{"children":"Build your first choropleth map with Observable Plot | Javier Cardenas | Observable"}] 2d:T515,[**Plot.geo**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-geo) draws geographic features and other polygonal geometry, and combined with other marks (_e.g._ dot, line, density, etc.) provides a user-friendly way to build maps with [Observable Plot](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-mapping). Here, we’ll use it to build a choropleth map — a map that uses color, shading or patterns to visualize aggregate values by geographic region (for example, median income by county, or carbon emissions per capita). We walk through: - Joining spatial data to attribute values - Creating a choropleth map using the geo mark - Customizing the map by layering additional marks and updating aesthetics - Adding interactivity with tooltips and Observable Inputs You can temporarily make edits to this notebook in [tinker mode](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/tinker-mode).
