Hi Scott,
Thanks very much! That seems like exactly what I want. I am in the middle of something right now but intend to try that out soon.

-spamp- does hold the counts in temporary matrix (`CLASS'), but I
believe you would have to rewrite how it labels the legend to work
with customized legend labels and the legend count.
What I have done in past is something like:
count if ratio >1 & ratio != . & xcoor != .
local count6 = r(N)
count if ratio >.75 & ratio <=1 & xcoor != .
local count5 = r(N)
count if ratio >.5 & ratio <=.75 & xcoor != .
local count4 = r(N)
count if ratio >.25 & ratio <=.5 & xcoor != .
local count3 = r(N)
count if ratio >0 & ratio <=.25 & xcoor != .
local count2 = r(N)
count if ratio ==. & xcoor != .
local count1 = r(N)
spmap ratio using "G:\data\us maps\usmap.dta", id(id)
clmethod(custom) clbreak(0 .25 .5 .75 1 10) ///
legend(label(6 "Greater than 1 (`count6') ")) ///
legend(label(5 "0.75 to 1.00 (`count5') ")) ///
legend(label(4 "0.50 to 0.75 (`count4') ")) ///
legend(label(3 "0.25 to 0.50 (`count3') ")) ///
legend(label(2 "0.00 to 0.25 (`count2') ")) ///
legend(label(1 "No Data (`count1') ")) ///
