1. Start with the site and the geography it must serve
Carrollton is recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau as a municipality in Texas with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 133,740 and a margin of error of 234. The city has recorded county relationships with Collin County, Dallas County and Denton County. Those facts identify the place and its governmental relationships; they do not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. For hosting, their practical value is narrower: they help you define the website’s intended service geography and the pages, forms and contact paths that should be tested. A firm may serve Carrollton while also addressing matters across one or more of those counties. That distinction belongs in the migration inventory and acceptance review.
Recommended approach
List the locations and service areas your existing site actually presents. Then identify representative pages for Carrollton and each county relationship that matters to your practice. Review whether those pages load, link, submit forms and preserve their addresses after migration. Treat the Census geography as a scope reference, not a performance forecast.
