1. Treat the CDP and the planning region as distinct reporting questions
Conning Towers-Nautilus Park is recorded as a census-designated place in Connecticut, with a recorded relationship to the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region. Those are different geographic frames. The relevant implementation decision is whether your reporting should separate Conning Towers-Nautilus Park from broader regional activity, or group them under a service-area view that your firm defines.
Recommended approach
Agree on geographic labels before reviewing performance. Keep Conning Towers-Nautilus Park and the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region separate where that distinction matters to intake, and document any broader service-area grouping your firm uses.
