1. Separate Bedford’s population from actual attribution evidence
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 31,914 people for Bedford, with a margin of error of 30. The record places Bedford in Monroe County. It should identify the geographic labels your firm actually uses, then measure real journeys from visitors who contact the firm. That may include people looking for service information in Bedford, Monroe County or elsewhere in Michigan, but the system should report what occurred rather than presume who is seeking counsel.
Recommended approach
Use Bedford and Monroe County as review parameters for your consultation and reporting decisions. Ask which locations, services and outcome stages should be distinguishable in your records. Keep the geographic scope explicit so a Bedford inquiry is not confused with a county-wide or statewide result.
