1. Homestead is a defined market, not a proxy for every nearby search
The U.S. Census Bureau records Homestead as a municipality in Miami-Dade County. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 82,807, with a margin of error of 66. That is geographic and population context; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, language preference, lead volume or revenue. A dashboard should therefore preserve the distinction between Homestead, Miami-Dade County, Miami, neighboring cities and any broader service area selected by the firm. [census-place]
Recommended approach
Use geographic labels that match the firm’s actual reporting decisions. Review Homestead as its own cohort where the underlying data supports it, and keep Miami, Miami-Dade and neighboring-city activity separate rather than combining them into a vague South Florida total.
