1. Make geography a decision variable
A location report can become misleading when every Florida contact is treated as the same market. Bosseo’s published product information calls for separate Miami, Miami-Dade and neighboring-city cohorts, alongside language, channel, qualified inquiry and signed matter stages. For your firm, that means asking whether a contact associated with Boca Raton is being analyzed separately from contacts associated with Miami or elsewhere. The available Census evidence identifies Boca Raton as a municipality in Palm Beach County; it does not establish a metropolitan-area definition, client origin, language preference or demand for a particular practice area. The dashboard should therefore preserve the geographic labels present in your underlying records and identify missing geographic data as unavailable.
Recommended approach
Before relying on a location comparison, agree on the geographic fields that matter to the firm, including Boca Raton and any other areas you intentionally serve. Do not treat the population estimate as a forecast of inquiries or matters. Use the dashboard to compare observed cohorts only when the source records support that comparison.
