A county with few vehicles is a county where LotClock will refuse to answer. It does not widen the search to fill a gap.

184 of the 548 dealerships identified run a platform that refuses an honest crawler. Their robots.txt often grants permission while the server in front of it does not; where the two disagree, LotClock obeys the stricter one and those stores are simply absent. 94 more have not been checked yet.
What is still missing. 56% of listed vehicles carry no published price, mostly because their dealership advertises a monthly payment or asks buyers to enquire. 1% are not yet decoded to a canonical make and model. Both numbers should fall; neither is hidden while it does.
How to be excluded
One line in your robots.txt stops LotClock permanently, and
the crawler page sets out exactly what is collected and what never is — no
photographs, no written descriptions, no personal information.
