1. Define the Highland Park geography before reading the numbers
A dashboard can show a city, county, state or other location only as precisely as the underlying definitions allow. Highland Park is a borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey. That relationship matters when you decide whether a report should distinguish Highland Park from the rest of Middlesex County or from a wider New Jersey service area. It also prevents a municipal population estimate from being treated as a forecast of matters or marketing opportunity. The Census estimate of 15,121 people is measured geographic context, not a lead or revenue metric.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the geographic labels, keyword targets and attribution fields that would be relevant to your firm. Decide whether a Highland Park inquiry should be separated from a Middlesex County inquiry, and document how the dashboard should handle people who live in one place but contact a firm about a matter elsewhere. Do not use the borough’s population as a proxy for demand.
