1. Start with the geographic record, not a demand assumption
New Ulm is recorded as a municipality in Brown County, Minnesota. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for New Ulm is 14,056, with a margin of error of 24. For attribution, the useful geographic question is narrower: which New Ulm- or Brown County-related pages, referrals or campaigns are associated with inquiries your firm actually receives?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels you want to review before discussing performance. Keep New Ulm, Brown County and any broader service area distinct in reports and intake records. Ask whether a journey should be evaluated by landing page, channel, case type, geographic page or some combination.
