1. Start with the correct East Moline geography
The U.S. Census Bureau records East Moline as a municipality in Rock Island County, Illinois. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 20,904, with a margin of error of 409. That number describes the city’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. For an ROI Dashboard, the useful question is how your firm wants geography defined. A city label, county label, service area and metropolitan area are not interchangeable. If the firm serves East Moline but also accepts matters elsewhere, combining those areas can make a channel or practice area look stronger or weaker than it is.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic dimensions would be named and separated in the proposed dashboard. Decide whether East Moline should be a distinct reporting label, whether Rock Island County should be separate, and which broader areas—if any—should be reviewed independently. Treat the Census population as eligibility context, not as a forecast or performance benchmark.
