1. Define the Rochester geography before reading the numbers
The 7,362 population estimate is therefore a boundary and eligibility reference, not a forecast of inquiries. Attribution should preserve the geographic distinctions that your firm actually uses in intake and reporting. A lead may identify Rochester, another Ulster County community, or a location outside the service area. Those are different operational questions.
Recommended approach
At consultation, decide which geography belongs in your attribution review: Rochester, Ulster County, a broader New York service area, or another defined scope. Ask whether location should affect ownership, eligibility, escalation or follow-up.
