Reading the field

The halo is mid-pack to small by raw 5-year gain (rank 57 of 69). The halo is essentially flat (-2.6% in five years). Neither headwind nor tailwind from local population change. Posture: existing-member depth and retention matter more than reach in a flat-or-shrinking halo of this size.
