Where this is
Shading: Total Jobs
Lower (0 to 6)Lower-middle (9 to 20)Middle (23 to 69)Upper-middle (70 to 187)Higher (217 to 11,433)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.
