1. Define the geographic question before judging a channel
Bradley Gardens is recorded as a CDP in Somerset County, New Jersey. A local population estimate does not establish how many people search for legal services, which practice areas they need, or whether a particular page produces inquiries. It does, however, give you a precise geographic label for reviewing the service area you intend to serve. Attribution can then be examined against the actual journeys reaching the firm, rather than against a population assumption. Ask whether Bradley Gardens is represented as a service location, a landing-page location, a referral description, or an intake answer. Keep those concepts distinct so a geographic mention is not mistaken for a qualified matter.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic descriptions your intake and reporting should preserve. Review Bradley Gardens separately from Somerset County and from the broader New Jersey market when those distinctions matter to a matter-opening decision. Do not use the Census estimate as a forecast of inquiries.
