1. Start with the real geographic footprint
Lexington Park is a CDP, not a county or metropolitan area, and the cited Census record places it in St. Mary’s County. That distinction matters when you decide what “local” means for your firm. A page for Lexington Park should not silently represent all of Maryland, every community in the county or a metropolitan market that has not been selected. Bosseo’s public page describes a footprint that can be statewide or limited to counties chosen by the firm. For a Lexington Park practice, the useful question is whether your clients come from the CDP alone, from other St. Mary’s County communities, or from a broader Maryland service area.
Recommended approach
Bring a precise service-area map to the consultation. Separate Lexington Park from St. Mary’s County and from any wider Maryland coverage you actually want to evaluate. Do not expand the footprint merely because the Census population is measurable.
