Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Gatesville is recorded as a municipality in Coryell County, Texas. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate records 16,228 residents, with a margin of error of 42. That is a population fact, not proof of legal demand, search activity, competition, inquiry volume or revenue. It should not be converted into an assumed staffing model or language requirement. For attribution, the useful geographic question is narrower: can your firm distinguish inquiries associated with Gatesville from the broader Coryell County service area and from other places your marketing may reach?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels and service areas your team needs to review before judging performance. Decide whether reporting should separate Gatesville from Coryell County or group them for a particular practice area. Then review whether landing pages, intake records and follow-up notes preserve enough geographic context to support that decision. Treat location as a classification question, not a forecast of lead volume.
