1. Start with the correct Flint geography
The U.S. Census Bureau records Flint charter township as a municipal-town in Genesee County, Michigan, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 31,136 and a margin of error of 49. That is a population record, not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, leads, cases or revenue. It also does not describe every place a Flint-serving firm may accept matters. A dashboard review should therefore make geography explicit. Ask whether a city, township, county, metropolitan area or other service area is being measured, and keep those categories separate. A city-level ranking or call count should not be presented as a county-wide result without a clear definition.
Recommended approach
Use Flint and Genesee County as distinct labels in the review. Request a clear explanation of which locations appear in keyword tracking, landing-page reporting, call records and lead attribution. If your firm serves areas beyond Flint, decide which additional geographies belong in the dashboard before using the data to compare practice areas or allocate spend.
