1. Start with Hopkins geography, not assumed demand
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 18,819, with a margin of error of 52. For attribution, the practical implication is narrower: define whether your reporting concerns people in Hopkins, matters served from Hennepin County, or a broader Minnesota or metropolitan service area. Those are different scopes and should not be blended in one label.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing channel performance, write down the geographic rule for a qualified inquiry. Decide whether Hopkins is a location in the journey, a service-area label, or both.
