1. Set the geographic brief around Fort Irwin and San Bernardino County
The Census identifies Fort Irwin CDP as part of San Bernardino County. That relationship matters when you decide what counts as local, county-level or broader California coverage. A page about an event specifically connected to Fort Irwin may need a different explanation from a page about a San Bernardino County court development or a California law change. The population estimate is useful for documenting the place, but it cannot tell you whether people are searching for a particular legal answer or whether a story will produce a case.
Recommended approach
Define geographic rules before reviewing topics. Separate Fort Irwin coverage from San Bernardino County coverage and statewide developments. Decide which locations may appear in a page title, which belong in the explanation, and when a story is too remote to be useful. Review the geographic scope with counsel rather than treating population as a proxy for demand.
