1. Start with Rialto’s actual geographic scope
The U.S. Census Bureau records Rialto city as a municipality in San Bernardino County. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 104,143, with a margin of error of 77. That is eligibility and market-context information only. It does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, calls, signed matters or revenue. A dashboard should therefore keep Rialto city, San Bernardino County and any broader service area distinct instead of combining them into one ambiguous “local” number.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels will be defined in the reporting view. Decide whether the firm wants to measure Rialto city separately, the county separately, or both. Put that decision in writing before reviewing trends, and do not use the population estimate as a forecast.
