The Appalachian Regional Commission compares economic data for each county in the Appalachian Region to national economic data. The economic status represents the state of the county's economy in relation to the national economy.

This data only applies to counties in the Appalachian Region, so it is not recommended that you use this filter in non-Appalachian states.
