1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
Martic and Lancaster County are not interchangeable. A dashboard can only support a useful decision when you know whether a metric refers to Martic, the county, Pennsylvania or another service area. The Census record identifies Martic as a municipal-town in Lancaster County and estimates its population at 5,192 for 2020–2024.
Recommended approach
At the consultation, list the exact locations your firm wants to evaluate. Keep Martic separate from Lancaster County and from broader Pennsylvania coverage.
