1. Set the geographic frame before reviewing performance
The Census record identifies North Bend as a city in Coos County, Oregon, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 10,171 and a margin of error of 64. That is a population measure for the municipality, not a measure of people searching for a lawyer or contacting your firm. It also does not answer whether a matter originated in North Bend, elsewhere in Coos County, or outside the county. For a firm serving North Bend, the dashboard discussion should therefore begin with geographic definitions. Decide whether location reporting should distinguish North Bend from the rest of Coos County and whether a matter’s location comes from a caller’s statement, an intake form, a page visited, or another documented field. Those are different signals and should not be blended casually.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city and county information would be represented, which geographic fields are available for review, and how the firm would handle contacts whose location is unknown. Keep North Bend, Coos County and broader Oregon coverage as separate reporting questions.
