1. Set the geographic boundary before judging performance
The Census record identifies Niles as a municipal-town in Berrien County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 14,328, with a margin of error of 36. For an ROI Dashboard, the important question is how your firm wants geography defined. A Niles inquiry is not automatically the same as an inquiry from elsewhere in Berrien County, and a county-wide matter should not be silently attributed to a municipal target. Ask to see the geographic labels used in reports and the rules for assigning a call, form or matter to a location.
Recommended approach
Use separate labels for Niles, Berrien County and any wider service area your firm actually elects to measure. Review whether city, county and service-area fields are visible beside the case type and channel. Do not approve a summary until you know whether a geographic total represents an individual contact, a household, a matter or another defined unit.
