1. Start with the geographic question your records can answer
Littlefield and Lamb County are related but not interchangeable geographic scopes. A firm may serve people in the city, elsewhere in the county, or both. Attribution should therefore preserve the location context attached to each inquiry rather than treating every contact as one undifferentiated local lead. The Census population estimate is useful eligibility context, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, which practice areas they need, or how many cases a firm will sign. A consultation should clarify which places, services and matter outcomes you want to compare.
Recommended approach
Before adopting attribution, define the geographic labels your team actually uses: Littlefield, Lamb County, and any broader service area you intentionally market. Then decide whether reports should compare those scopes separately. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast.
