Where I draw Norfolk County

One county, one page. Norfolk County has 28 cities and towns and 725,981 people in the 2020 Census. Five courts hear its district-level criminal cases: Quincy, Dedham, Wrentham, Stoughton, and Brookline.

One town is the odd one out. Bellingham (population 16,945) is in Norfolk County, but its cases go to Milford District Court, which is a Worcester County court. So the five courts below cover 27 towns and 709,036 people.
