1. Define the geographic view before reviewing the numbers
Farmington is a municipality in Davis County, Utah. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Farmington city is 25,389, with a margin of error of 73. That is a population estimate for the city—not a measure of legal demand, search activity, competition, leads, cases or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish Farmington city from Davis County and from any wider service area the firm chooses to evaluate. Otherwise, a geographic total may look precise while combining different questions. Ask whether a city field identifies the caller’s location, the page or keyword location, the office’s target area, or another category. Also ask how the system handles a matter involving a Farmington resident who searched from elsewhere, or a Davis County prospect who did not identify a city.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic definition to the consultation. Decide whether the initial view should isolate Farmington city, include Davis County, or show both separately. Treat the Census population figure as context for geographic scope only, not as a forecast. Review any city-level result alongside the underlying call, form or intake record rather than treating a location label as proof of case value.
