revelar / exponer
"Peel back" significa "despegar", "quitar", "quitar la piel/cáscara de", "pelar". Sin embargo, en un contexto de pedagogía y relacionado con estadísticas, puede significar "revelar", "explicar", "exponer", "abrir", "profundizar", "quitar las capas de"
De todas maneras, ayudaría un poco más de contexto para dar una respuesta más precisa.
Espero que ayude!

The Advanced English-Spanish VOX defines "to peel back" like "quitar, despejar."
I also found an illustrative example of its use in this link: http://www.brainyquote.com/words/pe/peel200557.html

Comment: "i think revelar, exponer will do since the context reads:
peel back the overall statistics for the dynamic US and you will find a tale of two economies (..)
another thing, i don't know why i can`t find this phrase in the dictionary 'peel back'"
