1. Define the geographic record before you judge performance
Otis Orchards-East Farms is recorded as a CDP in Spokane County, Washington. That exact relationship matters when you review location-based inquiries. A record for an individual, a household or a broader service area is not automatically a record for the CDP. Population data can establish the place and its estimated population, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, how many are qualified or how many matters a channel will produce. Lead Attribution should therefore be evaluated against the geographic information your firm actually receives during intake, rather than against a population-based forecast. Ask whether your review can distinguish an inquiry associated with Otis Orchards-East Farms from one elsewhere in Spokane County, while preserving the source journey for both.
Recommended approach
Set the geographic question first: decide what location information your intake team records, how it is interpreted and which service areas belong in the same management view. Do not use the Census estimate as a lead target.
