1. Start with the geographic question your records can answer
Alamo Heights is a municipality in Bexar County, Texas. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year population estimate for the city is 7,492, with a margin of error of 25. That figure describes the municipality’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, call volume, language preference or likely revenue. It also does not define the full market for a firm that serves clients beyond Alamo Heights. Attribution should therefore preserve location as a reporting dimension rather than treat the city population as a forecast. Ask whether your records can distinguish an Alamo Heights inquiry from an inquiry elsewhere in Bexar County, and whether that distinction matters to your service-area decisions.
Recommended approach
Review the geographic fields available in your intake and matter records. Decide which locations should be compared, then use attribution to examine source, case type and outcome within those boundaries. Do not use the city’s population estimate as a proxy for expected leads.
