Bivariate Map

Here is my bivariate map showing the percentage of each population that is black as the choropleth and the red cross symbols representing the population of each county that is uninsured medically. Before I started this map I thought there would be more of a corellation between the state's black population and the state's uninsured population. After making this map, the counties on the map with a black population over 40% were not as bad off in terms of uninsured residents than many majority-white and more racially mixed counties. However the counties with the most uninsured residents were all the state's major population centers.
