1. Start with Gettysburg’s actual service area
Gettysburg borough is a municipality in Adams County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 8,254 residents, with a margin of error of 20. That figure describes the borough’s population; it does not establish legal demand, inquiry volume, search behavior, competition or revenue. It also does not represent all of Adams County or every community your firm may serve. For attribution, the practical question is therefore geographic scope: which locations, practice areas and referral paths should appear in your reporting?
Recommended approach
Define the geography you want to evaluate before judging marketing performance. Keep Gettysburg borough distinct from Adams County and from any broader Pennsylvania service area. During a consultation, identify the locations and case types that matter to your firm, then decide whether reporting should distinguish them. Do not use population as a substitute for lead data.
