1. Start with the geography you actually want to measure
Lely Resort is a specific CDP in Collier County, not a synonym for every nearby city, the wider Florida market or a metropolitan area. The dashboard’s value depends on keeping those cohorts distinct. If your firm evaluates Lely Resort alongside Miami, Miami-Dade or neighboring cities, those locations should not be blended into one unexplained total. Bosseo’s published product information specifically calls for separating Miami, Miami-Dade and neighboring city cohorts, while showing language, channel, qualified inquiry and signed-matter stages. That separation helps prevent a broad geographic total from hiding where an inquiry originated or where a matter was signed.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels your firm will use before interpreting performance. Treat Lely Resort, Collier County, Miami, Miami-Dade and any neighboring city as separate reporting questions unless your responsible team deliberately chooses another structure. Do not use the Census population estimate as a forecast. Use the dashboard to review actual recorded activity by the geographic definitions your firm approves.
