1. Start with the correct geographic frame
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 9,115, with a margin of error of 29. A dashboard should therefore keep geography explicit rather than treating “Tuscumbia” as a proxy for every person or household in the county.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city, county and any broader service-area labels would be represented separately. Confirm whether a report can distinguish a Tuscumbia-related inquiry from an inquiry elsewhere in Colbert County. Agree on the geographic labels you want partners and intake staff to see before using location data in planning.
