The dispersion of individuals across our counties helps us to identify smaller geographic hotbeds for issues but is also effective in pinpointing areas where a program, intervention, or solution is working well. Through the identification of these smaller geographic locations, we can focus our attention to assess the scalability of the positive outcomes and identify opportunities to make positive impacts.
