1. Start with a geographic view that reflects your actual service area
Port Orange is recorded as a municipality in Volusia County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Port Orange city is 64,767, with a margin of error of 70. That is a measured population fact, not evidence of search demand, legal need, competition or prospective-client volume. For reporting, the distinction matters: Port Orange city and Volusia County are different geographic scopes. Combining them without a label could make a channel or case-type trend difficult to interpret. The ROI Dashboard’s stated angle is to separate city cohorts and show the journey through inquiry and matter stages. For your firm, ask whether Port Orange and Volusia County should be reviewed as separate cohorts, and whether other service areas belong in the same analysis.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels before relying on a trend. Keep Port Orange city separate from Volusia County unless the firm intentionally reports them together. Treat any broader service area as a decision to document, not a conclusion drawn from population data.
