1. Start with Lake Lorraine’s actual geographic scope
Lake Lorraine is recorded as Lake Lorraine in Okaloosa County, Florida. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,903, with a margin of error of 746. It does, however, make geographic discipline important: your firm should distinguish Lake Lorraine from Okaloosa County, nearby service areas and any broader Florida coverage rather than treating every contact as a Lake Lorraine result.
Recommended approach
Ask for geographic cohorts that reflect how your firm actually serves clients. Review Lake Lorraine separately where the underlying data supports it, then keep countywide or broader Florida activity in its own group. Do not combine households, individuals, the CDP and the county into one unexplained local metric.
