1. Start with a geographic definition your partners can defend
North Valley CDP is a census-designated place in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. A firm may serve people in North Valley without treating the CDP boundary as its entire market, but the dashboard should not blur North Valley, Bernalillo County, metropolitan areas, New Mexico, households and individuals. Those are different geographic or population concepts. The Census population estimate is useful for identifying the place and its county relationship; it does not establish how many people need legal help or how many searches, calls or signed matters exist.
Recommended approach
During a Bosseo review, ask how geographic labels would be defined in ranking, lead and case-type views. Decide whether North Valley is a target location, part of a broader county service area, or one segment within a statewide practice. Require reporting language that lets partners distinguish a North Valley signal from a Bernalillo County or New Mexico signal.
