1. Start with the geographic scope your firm actually serves
Blakely is a municipality in Early County, Georgia. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for Blakely city is 5,238, with a margin of error of 26. That is geographic and eligibility context, not evidence of legal demand, visitor volume or staffing needs. A Video Intake flow should therefore reflect your actual service area rather than treating Blakely, Early County, a judicial circuit and Georgia as interchangeable. If your firm serves clients outside Blakely, the intake should make the relevant location question clear. If it does not accept matters from every location, that boundary should be reviewed before launch.
Recommended approach
List the places and matter types your firm is prepared to review. Then decide whether location belongs near the beginning of the survey, affects routing, or is simply recorded for attorney review. Do not use Blakely’s population to forecast completions, cases or revenue.
