1. Define what “St. Helens” means in the dashboard
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 14,258, with a margin of error of 26. Your firm should therefore decide whether a dashboard view is intended to describe St. Helens, Columbia County, Oregon more broadly or another service area. A city target and a county relationship are not interchangeable, and a household, an individual and a geographic market are different measurement concepts.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels are defined in the dashboard and how you would distinguish St. Helens from Columbia County and other Oregon locations. Use an agreed geography in reports, lead reviews and budget discussions.
