1. Set the geographic question before reading the numbers
Brookside is a census-designated place in New Castle County, Delaware. A client may identify a different community, county or service area during intake.
Recommended approach
Use Brookside as a location value to review, not as a forecast. During consultation, decide how your firm will distinguish Brookside from New Castle County, other Delaware locations and nonlocal referrals. Then assess whether the attribution record preserves the geographic detail your intake team already collects.
