1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Mint Hill is recorded as a municipality in North Carolina, with recorded county relationships to Mecklenburg County and Union County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 27,556, with a margin of error of 100. Attribution should therefore preserve the distinction between a Mint Hill inquiry, an inquiry from either county and a matter your firm accepts elsewhere in North Carolina. If those categories are combined, a location report may look precise while obscuring the decisions you need to make.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, agree on the geographic labels that matter to your firm: Mint Hill, Mecklenburg County, Union County, other North Carolina locations or a broader metropolitan area. Ask how those labels will be attached to an inquiry and whether the location comes from the visitor journey, the intake record or both. Treat it as a reason to define the service area carefully.
