1. Make Pelican Bay and Collier County part of the review
the Census record identifies Pelican Bay as a census-designated place in Collier County. A caller who says “Pelican Bay” may be describing residence, an incident location, a court or agency connection, or simply the place where the call was made. County service boundaries may also differ from the firm’s preferred intake territory. Treating every local reference as the same field can make routing and qualification less reliable.
Recommended approach
Use coaching to examine whether intake staff clarify the relevant city, county, incident location, and service area when those facts affect fit. Do not turn the Census population estimate into a forecast. Instead, ask whether your rubric captures the geographic question your attorneys actually need answered.
