1. Start with Midlothian’s actual geographic boundary
The U.S. Census Bureau records Midlothian as a municipality in Ellis County, Texas. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 39,356, with a margin of error of 50. That is population information, not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. For an ROI Dashboard, the practical issue is whether your firm distinguishes Midlothian from Ellis County and from any wider service area it chooses to track. A city label, county label and metropolitan-area label should not be treated as interchangeable.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels would be defined in the dashboard and in source attribution. Decide which locations belong in your reporting vocabulary, then keep those definitions stable when comparing rankings, calls and matters. Do not use the Midlothian population estimate as a forecast of cases or marketing return.
