1. Start with Hayden’s actual service area, not a population assumption
Hayden is recorded as a municipality in Kootenai County, Idaho. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 16,338 residents, with a margin of error of 57. Attribution therefore should begin with a geographic definition you control: which inquiries count as Hayden matters, which county or metropolitan areas belong in the same reporting view, and whether your intake records location consistently. A city page, a county page and a broader Idaho service page should not be treated as interchangeable evidence.
Recommended approach
Bring your service-area rules to a consultation. Decide whether reports should separate Hayden from the rest of Kootenai County and from other areas before comparing channels or pages. This prevents a broad geographic label from obscuring the source of a qualified inquiry.
