1. Start with the geographic boundary your firm actually serves
Fairview city is a municipality in Multnomah County, Oregon. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 10,735 residents, with a margin of error of 25. That is a population record, not a measure of searches, legal need, competition, calls or signed matters. It should therefore help you define the dashboard’s geography, not justify a forecast. Ask whether Fairview should be tracked as its own city target, as part of a wider Multnomah County service area, or alongside other locations your firm intentionally serves. Those are different reporting choices. A dashboard that combines them without clear labels can make a local signal difficult to interpret.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, write down the exact locations, practice areas and client types you want to evaluate. Ask Bosseo to show how city and county labels would appear and how you would distinguish Fairview activity from broader Oregon activity. Do not accept a combined geographic view unless your firm can still isolate the underlying location.
