1. Start with Selma and Dallas County, not an assumed statewide footprint
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 17,057, with a margin of error of 19. For a Selma firm, the practical question is which places it actually serves: Selma alone, other cities in Dallas County, selected counties, or a broader Alabama footprint. Bosseo’s public product page describes county-level scoping as an alternative to whole-state coverage.
Recommended approach
Bring a service-area list to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to distinguish pages for Selma from pages for other Dallas County municipalities and from any Alabama-wide plan. Do not approve pages for places the firm does not serve merely because they can be included technically.
