Scale vs. Map Layout!

Scale is extremely important in a map. The Scale designates the classes on the map. There are many types of scales that can be used in a map. Each type of scale can completely change the classes and the way the map data is presented. The type of scale you use depends on how you want to present the data. Take a look at two maps that both show the Median Age of the Total Population of the US. One map was done with a Natural Breaks Scale, the other with an Equal Interval Scale. Which one do you think looks better?
