1. Start with the geographic question your records can answer
Stroudsburg borough is recorded in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. A firm may serve the borough, the wider county or another defined service area, but those geographic scopes should not be blended in reporting. A population estimate for Stroudsburg cannot tell you how many people need legal help, how many search for a lawyer, or how many inquiries your firm should receive. It can, however, help you state the reporting boundary clearly: identify whether an inquiry is associated with a Stroudsburg page, a Monroe County page, another location, or no location signal at all.
Recommended approach
Before implementation, decide which geographic labels belong in your intake and matter records. Review whether your reporting should distinguish Stroudsburg from Monroe County and from Pennsylvania generally. Do not use population as a forecast. Use actual journey and outcome records to assess which geographic pages or channels deserve further review.
