1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
The Census Bureau records Lexington-Fayette urban county as a municipality in Kentucky, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 323,725. The recorded county relationship is Fayette County. That is geographic context, not evidence of legal demand, competition, search volume, lead volume or revenue. Attribution should therefore preserve the location attached to an inquiry instead of treating the population figure as a forecast. Ask whether your reporting distinguishes service area, landing-page location, caller location and the place connected to a matter. Those are different fields with different uses.
Recommended approach
During the consultation, map the geographic fields your firm already collects and decide which one should be used for reporting. Keep Lexington-Fayette urban county and Fayette County relationships precise, and do not turn population into a target or performance assumption.
