Problem in choropleth map of the municipalities - brazil

[AdailtonVentura]

I encountered the following problems when creating a choropleth map of the municipalities in the state of Paraíba, Brazil.

The fields with the name of the municipality were categorized as: LOCAL

I already used the MUNICIPALITY or CITY categories but the mapping didn't work.

Municipality of Quixabá -
ibge_geographical code: 2512606
The mapping points to a village in the municipality of Remígio (2512705).

Municipality of Santa Terezinha -
cod_geografico ibge: 2513802
The mapping points to a neighborhood in the municipality of Guarabira (2506301).

Hi @AdailtonVentura ,

Which map visual do you use? Filled Map visual (fill range will change based on Location field name).

Rather than Map visual.

I am using a choropleth map with municipal division of the state of Paraíba (PB), Brazil (image 1). In the mapping, two municipalities have problems.

I am using data category: LOCAL. It was the only category that worked correctly, using other categories (Cidade ou Município) did not work (Image 3).

I made some changes to the names of the municipalities, but two mapping errors still persist:

1) FIRST PROBLEM: The municipality of Santa Cruz is being incorrectly mapped to a village in the municipality of Sousa (image 4).

When the correct location should be here (Santa Cruz - region not selected):

The municipality of Sousa is being mapped correctly.

2) SECOND PROBLEM: The municipality of Quixaba is being incorrectly mapped to a village in the municipality of Uiraúna (Image 7).

When the correct location should be here (Quixaba - region not selected):

The municipality of Uiraúna is being mapped correctly:

In Bing Maps it shows the problem with Quixaba - two local with same name:

I followed the guidelines of the links given in the previous message and I also tried the state and city/city combination, but it didn't work (the whole region is colored - image 11)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!!
