1. Start with the correct geographic boundary
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 16,228, with a margin of error of 875. For Legal News, that distinction matters whenever a story names a roadway, courthouse, agency, county, or state rule.
Recommended approach
Define coverage rules before approving pages. A St. Simons incident may merit local treatment, while a Glynn County proceeding or Georgia legal change may require broader wording. Keep the location in the page only when it is supported by the story and useful to the reader.
