1. Start with the service area, not the population number
Ridgewood is recorded as a municipality in Bergen County. A sound coverage decision therefore begins with the firm’s real service boundaries. If your practice serves only Ridgewood and nearby Bergen County communities, a county-level footprint may be more appropriate to review than a broad New Jersey build. If your firm regularly accepts matters elsewhere in New Jersey, a wider scope can be considered separately.
Recommended approach
Bring a written list of counties and municipalities your firm genuinely serves. Compare that list with a possible Bergen County footprint before deciding whether statewide coverage is relevant.
