O que um mapa de Wisconsin mostra

Wisconsin divides into 72 counties, and almost every figure the state publishes — unemployment, dairy production, turnout, school enrolment, health outcomes — is released at that level. It is a good geography to map: the counties are similar enough in size that no single one swallows the picture, and the state's real internal divisions show up clearly at county resolution. The Milwaukee and Madison metros, the Fox Valley corridor, the dairy counties of the west and the sparse forested north each read as their own region on a county map, and none of them is visible in a single statewide number.

Três formas de desenhar Wisconsin

Colora as regiões quando o número for uma taxa; dimensione um marcador quando for uma contagem. Inverter isso é a maneira mais comum de um mapa enganar.

Coroplético

Colorir cada região

A intensidade da cor carrega o valor. A escolha certa para taxas, proporções e números per capita, já ajustados ao tamanho ou à população.

Símbolos

Um marcador dimensionado por região

Um símbolo por região, escalado pelo valor. Use para contagens e totais, em que colorir a área apenas redesenharia o mapa da população.

Bolhas

Círculos proporcionais

Círculos dimensionados pelo valor sobre o contorno. Funciona bem quando poucas regiões dominam e as pequenas sumiriam em uma cor chapada.

Quando mapear Wisconsin

  • Your data is reported by Wisconsin county

    DHS health indicators, DWD labour figures, DPI school data, DATCP agricultural statistics and Wisconsin Elections Commission returns are all published by county.

  • You are showing a rate or a share

    Unemployment rate, vaccination share, share of votes, median household income. Rates are already adjusted for population, which is what shading a region needs.

  • You want to show a north–south or urban–rural split

    Wisconsin's clearest patterns are geographic. A county map makes the divide between the metro southeast and the northern counties an argument the reader can see rather than a claim they have to accept.

  • You need a blank map to print or fill in

    Classroom exercises, planning workshops, colour-by-hand sessions. The free outline above prints cleanly at any size.

Quando não mapear Wisconsin

  • You are mapping totals rather than rates

    Shade by a raw count and Milwaukee County wins every time — it holds roughly a sixth of the state's population in one of its smaller shapes. Use symbols or bubbles sized by the count instead.

  • Your unit is a city or a school district

    Wisconsin's municipalities and school districts cross county lines freely. Mapping them onto counties will misplace the thing you are describing.

  • Only a few counties have data

    A map with sixty grey shapes and twelve coloured ones is a worse bar chart. If coverage is patchy, rank the counties you do have.

  • The comparison is with other states

    If the point is how Wisconsin sits against its neighbours, use the US states map or the full US county map so the reader can see across the border.

Como criar um mapa de Wisconsin

Da planilha ao mapa publicado, passo a passo.

01

Download the blank map, or start from the template

The free outline above is a plain SVG of all 72 counties — print it, or drop it into a document. To build with data, open the PlotSet Wisconsin (counties) template, which comes with sample data already bound.

02

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 Wisconsin all begin 55.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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 72 counties, spelled as the state spells them

Watch the ones that trip up a join: Fond du Lac, Eau Claire, La Crosse, St. Croix, Green and Green Lake, Marinette and Menominee. Matching on FIPS avoids every one of these.

Wisconsin FIPS codes start at 55

55001 is Adams, 55141 is Wood. Store the column as text so the codes keep their shape, and remember the county part is odd-numbered, not sequential.

Milwaukee County is not Milwaukee

The city sits inside the county along with eighteen other municipalities. If your figure is city-level, it does not belong on a county map.

Where to get Wisconsin county data

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the Department of Workforce Development, the Department of Public Instruction and the Wisconsin Elections Commission all publish county tables, as does the Census Bureau's ACS.

Erros comuns em um mapa de Wisconsin

Shading counts instead of rates

It produces a population map every time. Anything that grows simply because more people live there should be a sized symbol, not a shade.

Joining on names without checking spelling

Fond du Lac and Fond Du Lac are different strings, and a silent mismatch leaves a blank county rather than an error. Join on FIPS where you can.

Ignoring the population imbalance

Milwaukee and Dane counties hold a quarter of the state between them in two small shapes, while the largest counties by area are in the sparsely populated north. Note it in the caption.

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.
