Map Depicting Natural Breaks Classification Method

This map shows only the "Natural Breaks" classification Method. I believe this methods best portrays the data because the data covers a large spectrum (from less than 1% to over 80% in some areas) Natural Breaks classification provides logical breaks in the data to help group like numbers together yet still show differences in the varying percentages. It has entries in all classification and is easy for the cartographer to calculate.  It also is easy for the reader to understand and has no gaps in the classes to cause confusion.
