Tutorial on how to make a choropleth map using Geopandas and Matplotlib in Python.

can't reproduce you result

Because your dataset not include all suppose files for ESRI shapefile.

Figure size with 0 axes

Update: Fixed it. User error on my end. I was typing in different Jupyter cells, which is what caused the axes to disappear. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Great tutorial and followed everything, but keep getting following error at merged.plot() stage:
"<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x23722390e88>

"

I can reproduce the map if I remove ax=ax from the following line:
merged.plot(column=variable, cmap='Blues', linewidth=0.8, ax=ax, edgecolor='0.8')

As here:
merged.plot(column=variable, cmap='Blues', linewidth=0.8, ax=ax, edgecolor='0.8')

but the figure size shrinks too small.

I think there may be an issues somewhere here in this line
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(10,6))
