Creating a Choropleth Map with ggplot2: A Step-by-Step Solution to Fixing Common Issues
The issue is that you’re trying to create a choropleth map with geom_polygon from the ggplot2 package, but geom_polygon expects a data frame with columns for x, y, and group. However, in your case, you’re passing a data frame with only one column (value) that represents the fill color. To fix this, you need to create a separate data frame with the county map information and then add it as a new layer using geom_polygon.
