1. Start with the geographic boundary, not a demand assumption
North Union township is recorded in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 11,592, with a margin of error of 61. That fact can help you define the service area for reporting and review. It cannot establish how many people search for legal help, how many inquiries a firm receives, which practice areas are needed, or whether a particular channel performs well. Attribution should therefore preserve the distinction between North Union, the wider county and any other area the firm serves. A useful record should let you examine geography alongside the actual inquiry rather than treating population as a proxy for marketing performance.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic labels matter to your firm before reviewing performance: North Union township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, or another service boundary. Then ask whether those labels are attached to a lead through an actual intake answer, contact record or other approved business data. Do not use the township estimate to set a lead target or infer staffing.
