1. Start with Wake Forest’s actual geographic boundary
The U.S. Census Bureau records Wake Forest town as a municipality in North Carolina. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 52,844, with a margin of error of 42, and the record relates the town to Franklin County and Wake County. That is context for defining a service area; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, calls, cases or revenue. For a dashboard review, the important question is how geographic fields will be represented. A report that combines Wake Forest, Franklin County, Wake County and broader North Carolina activity without clear labels can produce a misleading comparison.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city, county and statewide measurements are separated. Decide whether your internal review needs Wake Forest-only views, county views, statewide views or another documented boundary. Do not treat population as a forecast. Use it only to make the geography explicit when you define what the dashboard should measure.
