$^{115}\mathrm{In}$ nuclear magnetic resonance data are presented for a series of ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{La}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoIn}}_{5}$ crystals with different La dilutions $x$. Multiple In(1) sites associated with different numbers of nearest-neighbor cerium atoms exhibit different Knight shifts and spin lattice relaxation rates. Analysis of the temperature dependence of these sites reveals both an evolution of the heavy electron coherence as a function of dilution, as well as spatial inhomogeneity associated with a complete suppression of antiferromagnetic fluctuations in the vicinity of the La sites. Quantum critical fluctuations persist within disconnected Ce clusters with dilution levels up to 75%, despite the fact that specific heat shows Fermi liquid behavior in dilute samples.
