1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Tukwila is 21,451, with a margin of error of 47. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish Tukwila from King County, the broader Washington market, and any metropolitan-area view the firm chooses to examine. It should also distinguish households and individuals if those concepts appear in a report. A location filter that quietly mixes these geographies can make a trend look more precise than it is.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geography is represented in the dashboard and how a Tukwila view would be separated from King County or statewide data. Agree on the geographic labels the firm will use when reviewing rankings, calls, leads, and matters.
