1. Start with Wilson’s actual service area
The U.S. Census Bureau records Wilson as a municipal town in Niagara County, New York, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 5,789 and a margin of error of 19. That is geographic and population context only. It does not establish legal demand, search behavior, competition, inquiry volume or revenue. For attribution, the useful implication is narrower: your reporting should distinguish Wilson from the broader areas your firm serves rather than treating every New York inquiry as one market. A Wilson inquiry, a Niagara County inquiry and an inquiry from elsewhere in New York may require different decisions about page coverage, intake qualification and ownership.
Recommended approach
Before changing a budget or service-area page, decide which geographic fields your team needs to review. At minimum, discuss how Wilson and Niagara County will be identified in your intake records, how nearby or statewide inquiries will be separated, and whether the distinction affects matter acceptance or follow-up.
