1. Set the geography before reading the numbers
Northchase is a CDP, not a synonym for New Hanover County or every nearby metropolitan area. The Census record places it in New Hanover County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 5,896, with a margin of error of 1,452. That is context for defining a Northchase review, not evidence that residents are searching for a particular legal service. Bosseo’s public dashboard text says its ranking view can track service-and-city targets and show movement over time. The important buying question is therefore whether your firm’s tracked locations and practice areas match the geographic scope you actually serve.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how Northchase, New Hanover County and any broader targets would be distinguished in the reporting. Keep those labels separate when reviewing rankings, calls and leads. Do not combine a Northchase figure with countywide or statewide activity unless your firm deliberately defines the measures that way.
