1. Start with the geography the dashboard is meant to explain
Pavilion is recorded in the 2020–2024 ACS five-year data as a municipal-town in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, with an estimated population of 6,386 and a margin of error of 15. For an ROI Dashboard, the important decision is how the firm will define a service area: Pavilion alone, Kalamazoo County, other Michigan locations, or a combination. Those choices should not be blended into one unexplained “local” number.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location dimensions would be named and separated. A Pavilion result should not be presented as a Kalamazoo County result, and a county result should not be treated as proof of performance in the township. Agree on the labels, filters and reporting periods you would need before relying on a geographic comparison.
