Where this is
Shading: Total Jobs
Lower (0 to 8)Lower-middle (9 to 25)Middle (26 to 75)Upper-middle (77 to 188)Higher (264 to 83,420)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.
