sample expanded in latter waves to cover the counties

"Sample" is the people or things surveyed.
You may have better synonyms for "expanded" and "latter", but you get the point.
Marketing people talk about "waves" of a survey, I assume as the sub-units that make it up. Like 'rounds of surveying', in which each successive one is in greater detail than the one before, or asks different things.
What stumps me is the 'comarques' bit, since if it first refers to Catalunya and then covering the counties or regions, seems kind of backward...

Peer comment(s):

agree Paul Hirsh : "sampling" will do too, Comarques are subdivisions of the region excluding the capital; the idea must be extending to rural areas for complete coverage
