Start with the Forestville market you actually serve
Forestville CDP is recorded in Prince George's County, Maryland. That relationship matters when you review inquiry records: a Forestville inquiry and a broader Prince George's County inquiry should not automatically be treated as the same geographic segment. Population is eligibility evidence only, not evidence that people are searching for a particular practice area or that a marketing channel will produce cases. Lead Attribution can support a more disciplined review by showing the landing page, referrer, channel, device and session context associated with an inquiry. Your firm still decides which geographic labels belong in its reporting and case review.
Recommended approach
Before changing spend, define the geographic questions you want answered: Forestville inquiries separately, Prince George's County inquiries together, or both. Ask whether the information available in your intake records is sufficient to make that distinction without guessing. Then review actual inquiry journeys rather than treating the local population estimate as a forecast.
