1. Define the geography before reading the numbers
The Census record identifies Mill Valley as a municipality in Marin County. That distinction matters when a firm reviews local performance. A dashboard view labelled for Mill Valley should not automatically be treated as a Marin County result, and a county-wide result should not be presented as a city result. Population is useful context for deciding what geographic labels must be explicit, but it cannot prove that residents are seeking counsel or that a particular practice area is producing matters.
Recommended approach
Before a review, list the geographic questions partners actually ask. You might need separate views for Mill Valley, Marin County and the wider area your firm serves, but the correct scope depends on your practice and operating decisions. Ask Bosseo how geographic labels would be defined in the proposed review, how city data would be distinguished from county data, and how a firm should interpret a city-level metric without turning it into a demand claim.
