1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,886, with a margin of error of 767. A useful intake design therefore begins with your firm’s real service-area decision: whether Whitemarsh Island is one location within a broader Chatham County offering, a defined part of a Georgia practice, or outside the matters you accept.
Recommended approach
Write the location question so it reflects your actual service area rather than treating Whitemarsh Island, Chatham County, a judicial circuit and a court as interchangeable. During review, decide which locations should qualify, which require attorney review and which should receive a clear alternative response. Keep the location answer separate from the legal issue so your team can evaluate both.
