1. Start with the Salida service area, not a population forecast
Your firm may serve Salida, other parts of Chaffee County, Colorado or a narrower practice territory. Those are different geographic choices, and Automation should preserve the distinction.
Recommended approach
Define which location fields matter to intake and who reviews them. Decide whether geography changes routing, qualification, urgency or follow-up. Keep Salida, Chaffee County and broader Colorado coverage separate in your internal rules and reporting.
