Start with Plum’s geography, not a generic market label
The U.S. Census Bureau records Plum borough as a municipality in Allegheny County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 26,723, with a margin of error of 44. That is a description of the place and its population estimate—not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, calls, matters or revenue. A dashboard should therefore keep Plum borough distinct from Allegheny County, a wider metropolitan area and Pennsylvania as a whole. Those areas may be relevant to your firm, but they should not be blended without a stated reason.
Recommended approach
Ask to see geography fields or labels that let you review Plum separately from countywide and statewide activity. Decide whether your firm wants to measure people who contact you from Plum, searches associated with Plum, pages targeting Plum, or a broader service area. These are different questions. Record the chosen definition before using a local figure to guide budget or practice-area decisions.
