1. Set the geographic question before reading the number
The U.S. Census Bureau records Old Forge borough as a municipality in Lackawanna County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 8,573, with a margin of error of 22. That is context for defining a market view; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, calls, cases or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore keep Old Forge separate from Lackawanna County, any broader metropolitan area, Pennsylvania statewide reporting and other places your firm serves. If those geographies are combined, a single total can conceal which location or service area generated an interaction.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location labels would be defined in the reporting view. Decide whether the firm needs separate Old Forge, Lackawanna County, statewide and other service-area groupings, and document what each grouping is allowed to mean.
