1. Start with Olympia’s actual service area, not a presumed market
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 55,951, with a margin of error of 43. It should begin with the locations your firm actually serves and the paths real inquiries take.
Recommended approach
During a consultation, define the geographic labels your firm uses for reporting: Olympia, Thurston County, Washington or another service area. Keep those labels distinct. Then review whether lead records preserve the relevant landing page, referral source and case information rather than relying on a broad location label or a client’s recollection.
