Nominal Area Choropleth Map

https://courseware.e-education.psu.edu/courses/geog482/policies.shtml

A nominal choropleth map is unique from other choropleths in that it presents data under labels or categories as opposed to specific numerical values.  It is a simpler map that usually deals with absolute conclusions, as in the case of this map showing, simply which minority group has the highest percent of the population in any given state.  Notice the variables are presented as the categories of race, not the percentages specifically.
