1. Start with the Durango service area, not an assumed lead forecast
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 19,411, with a margin of error of 30. For Automation, the useful question is narrower: which inquiries does your firm intend to accept from Durango and La Plata County, and what should happen after each one arrives?
Recommended approach
Define the service-area and matter-type rules you want reviewed. Separate Durango from La Plata County and from any other area your firm serves. Then identify the next action for each permitted inquiry—for example, a human review, a consultation request, a decline, or a request for missing information.
