1. Start with Garden City’s exact service area
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 10,426, with a margin of error of 25. For a firm serving Garden City, the dashboard should therefore distinguish Garden City from Chatham County, any broader metropolitan area and Georgia as a whole. A city-level keyword, a county-level matter and a statewide ranking are not interchangeable records.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geography is defined in each measure. Decide whether a report should separate Garden City activity from Chatham County activity and from other areas the firm serves. Do not approve a roll-up until you know whether it combines municipalities, counties, metropolitan areas or the state.
