1. Start with Hillside’s geographic definition
Hillside is recorded in Union County, New Jersey. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 22,349, with a margin of error of 32. A dashboard review should therefore make the geographic definition explicit: Hillside, Union County, other New Jersey locations, or a wider service area are different reporting choices. Mixing them can make a local result appear broader or narrower than it is.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in tracked keywords, calls, forms, source attribution and matter reporting. Decide whether a Hillside view is a municipality-level slice, part of a Union County view, or one element in a broader New Jersey reporting structure. Record that choice before using geographic comparisons to allocate budget.
