1. Set the geographic boundary before you design the flow
Durango is recorded as a municipality in La Plata County, Colorado. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 19,411 residents, with a margin of error of 30. That is population information about Durango city—not a measure of legal demand, online behavior, call volume, competition or likely case value. It also does not describe every person or household your firm may serve. Before building questions, decide whether this intake is for Durango city only, La Plata County, Colorado more broadly or another service area your firm expressly accepts.
Recommended approach
Use the firm’s actual service geography as an intake question or routing rule only where it affects eligibility. Review how the flow should handle a visitor who is outside Durango or La Plata County, and decide whether that person should be declined, referred, reviewed manually or sent to a different office or practice path. Do not use the city population as a forecast of submissions.
