1. Define the geography before interpreting a number
Carrboro is a municipality in Orange County, North Carolina. That relationship matters when your firm discusses location data: “Carrboro,” “Orange County,” North Carolina and a metropolitan area are not interchangeable labels. A dashboard can only support a useful geographic decision when the firm agrees on what a city field means. It might refer to a caller’s stated location, a page or keyword target, an intake address or another source field. The Census estimate for Carrboro is eligibility context, not evidence that residents are searching for a particular practice area or that a campaign will produce matters.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city and county information appears in rankings, leads and attribution. Decide whether your operating view should separate Carrboro from Orange County and from broader North Carolina activity. Record the rule before comparing practice areas or channels.
