1. Define “Wailea” before reviewing a number
Wailea is recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau as a census-designated place in Maui County, Hawaii. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,352, with a margin of error of 659. That is geographic and population context—not proof of legal demand, search activity, competition, leads, matters or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish Wailea from Maui County, Hawaii, other places your firm serves, households and individuals. If a report says “Wailea,” ask whether the label refers to a tracked keyword, a caller’s location, a landing-page target, an address, or another definition. The distinction matters when partners compare local visibility with actual intake.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic definitions into your acceptance criteria. Review a separate field or view for Wailea, the broader county, statewide activity and any other service area you intentionally choose. Do not accept a combined geography simply because it produces a larger total.
