Where this is
Shading: Total Jobs
Lower-middle (0 to 1)Middle (2 to 3)Upper-middle (4 to 14)Higher (15 to 349)No data
Each unit is shaded by its Total Jobs value and grouped into equal-count bands (quantiles) against the other units shown — lighter = lower, darker = higher. It ranks position among the units in view; it does not grade places, and the ranges shift with which units are shown.
The map is bounded to this parent geography — it shows the selected unit among its own siblings only, the same depth rule the drill-down uses. Shading ranks position on the measure among the units shown; it does not grade places.
