Map 2 shows the percentage of African Americans in Escambia County, Florida using the Natural Breaks (Jenks) method. I think this was the best classification to use for this particular data because it was easy to interpret, especially in the legend, although I did not decide to round out all of the numbers in the legend to keep the data more accurate. It also takes in to account the breaks within the data unlike the equal interval method. The color scheme also is more clustered in areas of the county making it easier to understand as a division within a population.
Color choice is good and the thought process if good as well. Quantile would have been a good choice as well. No need to put scale on your map though. Great effort!
