1. Start with Crookston’s actual service area
Crookston is recorded as a municipality in Polk County, Minnesota. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Crookston is 7,344, with a margin of error of 58. Your dashboard review should therefore distinguish Crookston from Polk County and any other area your firm serves. A city-and-county filter that combines those places without explanation can make a trend look more precise than it is.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in the dashboard and in attribution. Decide whether your reporting should separate Crookston, Polk County and other service areas.
