1. Start with the service footprint, not the population number
Delhi’s Census geography is a CDP in Merced County, California. The county relationship matters because Bosseo describes its Programmatic SEO footprint as selectable at statewide or county level. A firm may therefore evaluate Delhi as part of a Merced County coverage decision rather than treating the place as evidence that a particular legal service has measurable demand. The ACS estimate of 11,009 is useful for identifying the community and its scale, but it cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, how many need a particular practice area, or how many would contact your firm.
Recommended approach
List the legal services you actually offer, then identify the cities and counties where you are prepared to serve clients. Ask whether a Delhi page would be useful as part of a Merced County footprint, whether neighboring coverage belongs in scope, and which matters the firm can intake and handle. Keep the geographic decision separate from assumptions about demand.
