1. Put Atlantic City geography in the right measurement frame
The U.S. Census Bureau records Atlantic City city as a municipality in Atlantic County, New Jersey, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 38,632 and a margin of error of 47. That is context for defining a service area; it is not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, call volume or expected case revenue. Your attribution question should therefore be narrower and more useful: which pages, referrals or campaigns generated inquiries from the geographic areas your firm actually serves, and which of those inquiries met your qualification standard?
Recommended approach
Start with geography as a field for review rather than a forecast. Decide whether your reporting should distinguish Atlantic City from the wider Atlantic County area, then compare that choice with your intake records and matter-acceptance rules. Do not use the city’s population as a proxy for staffing, language needs or prospective-client volume.
