1. Treat Dobbs Ferry as a geographic scope question
The Census record identifies Dobbs Ferry village as a municipality in Westchester County, New York. That distinction matters when a firm chooses a footprint. A page for Dobbs Ferry is not the same thing as a page for Westchester County, New York, or a broader metropolitan area. Each may represent a different service area and a different search intent. The population estimate of 11,443 is descriptive context only. It cannot tell you whether people are searching for a lawyer, how many firms compete for those searches, or whether a page would produce a qualified inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask whether the firm genuinely serves clients in Dobbs Ferry and which nearby geographic units belong in the same plan. Then compare a Dobbs Ferry page, a Westchester County approach, selected-county coverage, and any statewide option as separate decisions. Do not use population as a substitute for a demand study.
