Start with the Albuquerque geography you actually serve
Albuquerque city is a municipality in Bernalillo County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the city is 562,218, with a margin of error of 82. That is geographic and population context, not proof of legal demand, competition, calls, cases or revenue. A dashboard should therefore keep the firm’s chosen service area explicit rather than treating every nearby inquiry as equivalent. If your intake covers Albuquerque city and other locations, review those areas separately where the underlying data permits it. Do not combine city, county, metropolitan and statewide figures without labeling the difference.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to define whether the dashboard review is about Albuquerque city, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, or a combination. Then decide which city, county and case-type labels are necessary for partner-level decisions. The objective is a measurement boundary that reflects your practice, not a conclusion drawn from population alone.
