What the Map Colors Mean

There are two map views that are colored and each one has a coloring according to the current setting in the Options menu.

In the U.S. House of Representatives Apportionment panel, the map colors mean the following:

• Bright Yellow indicates a high number of representatives. Since this is directly proportional to the population of that state, a coloring of Bright Yellow also indicates a high population relative to the other states.
• Bright Cyan indicates low number of representatives. Likewise, this indicates a low population relative to the other states.

In the Migrations map, the colors mean following:

• Bright Yellow indicates high positive migration, into the state. That is, many more people moved into the state than moved out of it.
• Bright Cyan indicates high negative migration, out of the state.
• White indicates that the state is the one migration data is being displayed about.

Colors between these extremes indicate varying degrees of representation. A dragable legend of the colors appears on the right-hand side of the map.
