1. Start with the geographic definition
Salinas is recorded as a municipality in Monterey County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 161,761 residents, with a margin of error of 59. A useful dashboard review should therefore distinguish Salinas from Monterey County and from any other service area your firm chooses to measure.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geography list to the consultation. Decide whether a report should separate Salinas from Monterey County, and identify which practice-area and location labels your team will use when reviewing calls, forms and matters.
