1. Start with the geographic record you actually want to measure
Dunbar is recorded as a city in Kanawha County, West Virginia. That gives your firm a precise geographic label for reviewing inquiries associated with Dunbar, while avoiding a broader claim about all of Kanawha County or the Charleston metropolitan area. The city’s estimated population is 7,254 for the 2020–2024 ACS five-year period, with a margin of error of 26. That is context for the municipality, not a forecast of legal need. Ask whether your records distinguish Dunbar from other places your firm serves and whether a geographic label can be reviewed alongside the actual intake and outcome.
Recommended approach
During a consultation, define the geographic questions first: whether Dunbar should be reviewed separately, whether Kanawha County should be a separate roll-up, and which locations your firm is permitted and prepared to serve.
