The results are calculated by monitoring “tens of millions of anonymous mobile phones and their interactions with each other each day”, according to the company.

Hopkins County scored a D because Unacast measured a 12% decrease in travel in the area. Hopkins scored the second lowest score in East Texas. Franklin County scored the worst with a 0% change in travel. 

An decrease greater than 40% is an A grade, 30-40% is a B, 20-30% is a C, 10-20% is a D, and under 10% is a F.
