1. Start with Auburn’s actual geographic definition
The available population record applies to Auburn town, not to every person who may contact a law firm in Worcester County or elsewhere in Massachusetts. That distinction matters when a dashboard reports city or location data. A firm should decide whether “Auburn” means the municipal town, a broader Worcester County service area, selected Massachusetts locations, or another clearly defined geography. The dashboard page says its ranking view can track service-and-city targets and that decisions can use case-type and city data. It does not establish which Auburn targets, surrounding locations or county terms should be tracked for your firm.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to write down the geographic labels that matter to your practice. Ask to see how Auburn town, Worcester County and any additional Massachusetts locations would be separated rather than combined into one total. Treat the Census population as context for scope-setting, not as a forecast of demand or case volume.
