Start with the site you actually need to protect
The U.S. Census Bureau records Lyon as Lyon charter township, a municipal-town in Oakland County, Michigan. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 24,933, with a margin of error of 31. That is geographic context, not a hosting requirement and not evidence of search demand. For your firm, the useful question is narrower: which website, domains, forms, assets and administrative users must remain available to people looking for legal help in Lyon, elsewhere in Oakland County, or across Michigan? A hosting review should identify those boundaries rather than silently treating Lyon as an entire market.
Recommended approach
Create a written inventory of the site’s public pages, intake paths, domains, DNS records, email records, databases, media and third-party dependencies. Confirm whether the site serves only Lyon, Oakland County, Michigan, or a wider area. That geographic decision should shape testing and redirect review, while the population figure remains context only.
