1. Treat Thompson as a defined service area, not a demand signal
The Census record identifies Thompson as a municipal town and places it in the Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region. Those facts matter when you draw a geographic boundary, but the population estimate is eligibility evidence only. It cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, how many firms compete for those searches, or whether a page will produce an inquiry. A Thompson page should therefore follow a service-area decision rather than a population-based assumption.
Recommended approach
Confirm that the firm accepts matters from Thompson and can explain its service relationship to the town. Then decide whether Thompson belongs in a town-level footprint, a wider Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region plan, or a narrower set of locations chosen by the firm. Record the reason for the decision and the questions that will determine whether the page is useful.
