Does selecting/deselecting the display of “Outlying Territories” affect how the data are classified for display in the map?
Yes. By default, the original map that is displayed after selecting a question/answer combination includes only the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). The data classification for this map is based only on the data estimates for those 50 states and Washington, DC. When the Outlying Territories are selected for display, the map refreshes and the data for the three territories are included in the dataset. The data are then classified and displayed based on the 54 state (including Washington, DC) and territory data estimates. Conversely, when the Outlying Territories are deselected for display, the data classification reverts back to a 51-state (including Washington, DC) dataset.
