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 is 25,389, with a margin of error of 73. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish Farmington 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, include Davis County, or show both separately. Review any city-level result alongside the underlying call, form or intake record rather than treating a location label as proof of case value.
