I worked briefly on your question, as have several other Researchers.
A big problem here is that, in addition to the United States, all
these countries are part of North America:

Antigua and Barbuda
Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Canada
Costa Rica
Cuba
Dominica 
Dominican Republic  
El Salvador
Grenada
Guatemala
Haiti
Honduras
Jamaica
Mexico 
Nicaragua
Panama, St. Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and Grenadines
Trinidad and Tobago

Gathering statistics from so many sources is likely to take much more
time than most Researchers would be willing to spend for $1.50 (which
is the Researcher's share of the fee you've set.)

If this information is important to you, you are more likely to get
results by increasing the fee or by reducing the scope of the
question.
