1. Start with the Talent service area, not a population assumption
Talent is recorded as a municipality in Jackson County, Oregon. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,254, with a margin of error of 25. That is geographic and eligibility context only. It cannot tell you how many people need legal help, which practice areas are active, how many firms compete, or how many inquiries your website should produce. Lead Attribution gives you a way to examine the evidence that matters to your firm: the actual source of an inquiry, the page involved, the answers available and the eventual outcome.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic scope you want to evaluate before reviewing performance. Keep Talent, Jackson County and any broader Oregon service area distinct in your reporting. Ask whether a lead is in your intended service area, then review the path that produced it instead of treating local population as a demand forecast.
