Florida divides into 67 counties, and the state publishes almost everything at that level — health indicators, unemployment, school grades, property values, insurance claims, election returns. It is a geography worth mapping because the state does not behave as one place. The three southeast counties hold close to a third of the population between them, the I-4 corridor across the middle decides statewide elections, the Panhandle looks and votes more like south Alabama than like Miami, and Monroe County is mostly water and sawgrass with a thin line of keys attached. None of that survives a single statewide number, and all of it is visible on a county map.
Trois façons de dessiner Florida
Colorez les régions pour un taux, dimensionnez un marqueur pour un effectif. Inverser les deux est la façon la plus courante de tromper le lecteur.
Un marqueur dimensionné par région
Un symbole par région, mis à l'échelle selon la valeur. À utiliser pour les effectifs et les totaux, là où colorer la surface ne ferait que redessiner la carte de la population.
Ouvrir le modèleCercles proportionnels
Des cercles dimensionnés par la valeur, posés sur le tracé. Efficace quand quelques régions dominent et que les petites disparaîtraient dans un aplat.

Your data is reported by Florida county
Florida Health CHARTS indicators, FloridaCommerce labour figures, Department of Education school data, Division of Elections returns and county property appraiser rolls are all published by county.
You are showing a rate or a share
Uninsured rate, share of residents over 65, vaccination share, share of the vote, median home price. Rates already account for how many people live there, which is what shading a region needs.
You want to show the north–south split
Florida's clearest divisions are geographic and they run against the compass — the further south you go the less Southern it gets. A county map turns that into something the reader can see rather than a claim they have to take on trust.
You need a blank map to print or fill in
Classroom exercises, hurricane planning sessions, territory mark-ups, colour-by-hand worksheets. The free outline above prints cleanly at any size.
Quand éviter la carte Florida
You are mapping totals rather than rates
Shade by a raw count and Miami-Dade wins every time — roughly one Floridian in eight lives there. Use symbols or bubbles sized by the count instead.
Your unit is a city or a metro
Miami, Orlando and Tampa are all metro areas spanning several counties, and Jacksonville is a city consolidated with its whole county. Forcing city figures onto county shapes will misplace what you are describing.
The story is about the coast
Storm surge, beach erosion, flood exposure and reef damage happen along a line, not inside a polygon. A shaded county tells the reader that inland Collier and coastal Naples share a risk they do not share.
Only a few counties have data
A map with fifty grey shapes and seventeen coloured ones is a worse bar chart. If coverage is patchy, rank the counties you do have.
Comment créer une carte Florida
Du tableur à la carte publiée, étape par étape.
Download the blank map, or start from the template
The free outline above is a plain SVG of all 67 counties — print it, or drop it into a document. To build with data, open the PlotSet Florida (counties) template, which comes with sample data already bound.
Prepare a county column and a value column
One row per county: the county name or its five-digit FIPS code in the first column, your number in the second. FIPS codes for Florida all begin 12.
Upload or connect your data
Import a CSV or Excel file, paste from a spreadsheet, or connect a Google Sheet so the map can be refreshed when the source updates.
Pick the style that fits the measure
Shade the counties for a rate, or switch to symbols or bubbles for a count. Same geography, same data, different encoding.
Choose a colour scale on purpose
Sequential for a low-to-high measure, diverging only when a real midpoint exists — the state average, zero change, a 50 per cent line. Four to six steps read more precisely than a smooth gradient.
Publish, embed or export
Publish for a live interactive map with a tooltip on every county, or export a PNG, SVG or PDF for a report or a deck.

All 67 counties, spelled as the state spells them
Watch the ones that break a join: Miami-Dade, St. Johns, St. Lucie, DeSoto, Indian River, Palm Beach, Santa Rosa. Three of them start with a saint, two are two words that look like one, and matching on FIPS avoids all of it.
Dade County has been Miami-Dade since 1997
Older files, and plenty of current ones copied from older files, still say 'Dade'. It is the single most common reason a Florida map comes back with one large blank shape in the southeast.
Florida FIPS codes start at 12
12001 is Alachua, 12133 is Washington. Store the column as text so leading zeros survive, and note that the county part is odd-numbered rather than sequential.
Jacksonville is Duval County
The city and the county were consolidated in 1968, so city-level Jacksonville figures are county-level Duval figures. Every other big Florida city is a fraction of its county and does not map this way.
Where to get Florida county data
Florida Health CHARTS, FloridaCommerce labour statistics, the Department of Education, the Division of Elections and the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research all publish county tables, as does the Census Bureau's ACS.
Erreurs fréquentes sur une carte Florida
Shading counts instead of rates
It produces a population map every time, and in Florida that map is three dark shapes in the southeast and a pale Panhandle. Anything that grows simply because more people live there should be a sized symbol.
Letting Monroe County set the scale
Monroe is enormous on the map and tiny in population — most of it is Everglades and open water. On a shaded map it draws the eye to the least representative county in the state.
Joining on names without checking spelling
'St. Johns', 'St Johns' and 'Saint Johns' are three different strings, and a silent mismatch leaves a blank county rather than an error. Join on FIPS where you can.
Ignoring the age distribution
Florida's county figures are shaped by who retires where. Sumter County is the oldest county in the country by median age; Alachua and Leon are two of the youngest because they hold the big universities. Any per-capita measure that correlates with age needs that said out loud.
Using a rainbow colour scale
A sequence of hues has no natural order, so readers cannot tell high from low without checking the legend on every county. Use one hue, light to dark.
