1. Define the geography before reading the numbers
Princeton city and Caldwell County are not interchangeable reporting areas. The U.S. Census Bureau records Princeton as a municipality within Caldwell County, with an estimated population of 6,241 for the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year period and a margin of error of 18. That figure describes the city population estimate; it does not establish how many people search for legal services, how many households need counsel, or how many potential matters a firm can acquire. A useful dashboard should therefore make geographic labels explicit rather than treating every local signal as “Princeton.”
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how the dashboard names and separates city, county, state and any other tracked service areas. Before reviewing results, agree on which locations belong in your reporting definition and which do not. If your firm serves beyond Princeton, identify those areas as separate reporting questions rather than adding them to a local total without explanation.
