Start with the Lockport service area, not a population assumption
The U.S. Census Bureau records Lockport city as a municipality in Niagara County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 20,610, with a margin of error of 44. That is geographic context, not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, staffing requirements or likely lead volume. For attribution, the practical question is narrower: when a person in or around the area contacts your firm, can you identify the marketing path that preceded the inquiry?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels your firm actually uses before reviewing performance. Keep Lockport city, Niagara County and any wider New York service area distinct in reporting. Do not use the population estimate to forecast inquiries. Instead, review whether landing-page, channel and intake records distinguish the locations and matter types your firm chooses to serve.
