1. Define the geographic scope before changing infrastructure
La Plata is a municipality in Maryland, and the Census record places it in Charles County. That distinction matters when you review the website being hosted. A site may describe a La Plata practice, serve clients elsewhere in Charles County, or cover a broader Maryland area. Hosting does not decide that scope, but migration should preserve the pages, redirects, forms and contact paths that represent it. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 10,683 people in La Plata, with a margin of error of 24. That is population context only; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition or likely case intake.
Recommended approach
List the geographic pages and service pages that must remain available after migration. Separate La Plata pages from Charles County and wider Maryland pages, then confirm that each page has an owner, a required redirect, or a documented reason for removal. Treat the Census figure as context rather than a forecast.
