1. Start with the geographic question, not a population promise
The Census records Comstock Northwest as a CDP in Kalamazoo County, Michigan. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 5,391, with a margin of error of 635. That fact can help define the place named in your service-area strategy. It cannot establish how many people search for legal information, how many need counsel, how many firms compete for attention or how many inquiries a news page could produce. A Legal News discussion should therefore distinguish Comstock Northwest from Kalamazoo County and from broader Michigan coverage. A statewide story may be relevant to your practice even when it is not specific to the CDP; a local incident may require a more precise geographic and factual review.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map proposed coverage to the places your firm actually serves: Comstock Northwest, Kalamazoo County, Michigan or another expressly chosen area. Treat the Census geography as a boundary-setting fact, then test usefulness through actual page engagement and qualified inquiry review rather than population-based forecasts.
