1. Start with the right Richfield geography
The U.S. Census Bureau records Richfield township as a municipal town in Genesee County, Michigan. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 8,971, with a margin of error of 19. That is geographic and population context, not evidence of legal demand, search behavior, competition, lead volume or revenue. Your attribution review should therefore distinguish Richfield township from Genesee County, any broader metropolitan area you serve, and other Michigan locations. A source record that says only “Michigan” may be too broad for a local budget decision; a record that labels every inquiry “Richfield” may be inaccurate.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic labels your firm needs before reviewing performance. Ask how a lead’s location will be captured, whether the distinction between Richfield township and Genesee County is visible, and how you will handle people who live elsewhere but seek a Richfield-serving firm. Treat the Census geography as a scope boundary, not as a forecast.
