1. Set the geographic scope before reading the numbers
The U.S. Census Bureau records Gaffney city as a municipality in Cherokee County, South Carolina. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 12,596, with a margin of error of 66. That figure describes the city population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. For an ROI Dashboard, the practical issue is whether a report distinguishes Gaffney city from Cherokee County and from any broader service area your firm elects to track. A city target, a county target and a statewide target should not be treated as interchangeable labels.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location labels are defined in the dashboard and how you would review Gaffney-specific activity separately from Cherokee County activity. Decide which geographic distinctions matter to your practice before interpreting trends or comparing case types.
