1. Start with the geographic decision, not the population number
Murraysville is recorded as a CDP in New Hanover County. That exact relationship matters when you review your Google Business Profile, local service areas, website references and intake records. A firm may serve Murraysville, other parts of New Hanover County, a broader metropolitan market or clients located elsewhere in North Carolina. Those are different scopes and should not be combined casually. The population estimate is useful context for defining the place, but it cannot tell you whether residents are searching for a particular legal service or whether your competitors are active there.
Recommended approach
Map the locations you actually serve before setting review or reputation goals. Decide whether Murraysville is a primary market, one part of New Hanover County, or simply one location among several. Then compare inquiries by location and matter type rather than treating the CDP population as a forecast.
