1. Start with Park City’s actual geographic boundary
The Census record identifies Park City city as a municipality in Lake County. A dashboard review should therefore make geography explicit rather than treating every nearby search or inquiry as a Park City result. Ask how the system distinguishes a Park City target from a Lake County target, a wider Illinois target or another metropolitan area. The population estimate of 7,827 is useful for identifying the place being discussed, but it is not a forecast of cases or a reason to expect a particular number of calls. The dashboard’s value depends on whether geographic labels are precise enough for the decisions your firm wants to make.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geography list to the consultation. Separate Park City, Lake County, any broader service area and Illinois-wide work. Ask to see how city data, county data and statewide data would be displayed and how you would prevent one geography from being mistaken for another.
