1. Start with the footprint your firm can actually serve
Bosseo describes two geographic choices: the whole state or only the counties a firm chooses. St. Albans is recorded in Franklin County, so a firm evaluating this market should decide whether Franklin County is an appropriate starting boundary or whether its service area extends beyond it. The town’s population estimate does not establish demand in St. Albans or anywhere else. It simply confirms that St. Albans is a defined municipal-town geography in the Census record.
Recommended approach
Bring Bosseo a precise service map rather than assuming statewide coverage is automatically appropriate. Identify whether your firm serves St. Albans town, other places in Franklin County, additional Vermont counties, or a broader Vermont footprint. Ask how each geographic choice changes the proposed service-and-city coverage and how you will judge whether inquiries are from places your firm accepts.
