1. Define the Raytown view before reviewing ROI
Raytown is a municipality in Jackson County, Missouri. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 29,445, with a margin of error of 27. Ask whether a ranking, call, form or matter is labeled for Raytown, Jackson County, another city, or a broader service area. Also decide whether a person who lives in Raytown but contacts the firm about a matter elsewhere should be reported by location, case type, or both.
Recommended approach
During a consultation, request a proposed geography dictionary and review examples of how Raytown, Jackson County and wider Missouri activity would be separated. Do not approve an ROI view until the firm agrees which geographic fields are descriptive and which are used for budget decisions.
