1. Start with the inquiry, not the municipality
Mendon town is recorded in Monroe County, New York, and its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 9,019, with a margin of error of 24. That is useful geographic context, but it cannot tell you how many people searched for counsel, which matters are viable or whether a particular page produced an inquiry. For attribution, the important distinction is the individual lead and the path that led to contact. A town name in a form, a landing page associated with Mendon, and a caller’s actual matter are separate pieces of information that should not be collapsed into a population assumption.
Recommended approach
Ask how the system identifies the geographic context of an inquiry and how that context is kept separate from source, matter type and outcome. Review Mendon-related records as individual journeys rather than treating the town’s population as a demand forecast.
