After initial verification that the process worked the pilot remit was expanded to cover all 72 counties in Wisconsin.

[5] 2015 was the primary growth year, with a $3 million grant from the Pershing Square Foundation allowing immediate expansion into five other states: Washington, Utah, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida, with roughly 370 counties' data gathered.

Each data sample is designed for filtering, to allow a finer-grain analysis to provide the "in which circumstances does county X do well or poorly".

The metrics can either be considered in bar graph format or in map form (state-wide or nation-wide) to allow better geographical comparison.

The data can also be filtered by various demographics and the base figures downloaded, with explanations provided for why each metric is important.
