1. Start with the calls your team cannot reliably answer
The U.S. Census Bureau records Anderson as a municipality in Madison County and gives the city a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 55,367, with a margin of error of 590. That figure describes the city; it does not establish call demand, legal need, competition or likely case volume. For your firm, the useful local question is narrower: which callers within your service area currently encounter voicemail, a busy line or a delayed response? Bosseo’s public AI Answering description says the team receives the first ring and the AI steps in if nobody answers within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow.
Recommended approach
Review your actual answering path by circumstance rather than using Anderson’s population as a proxy for demand. Identify when your staff answers, when calls forward, what happens after hours and who owns the callback. Then decide whether a 20-second backup rule fits your office, including calls from Anderson, elsewhere in Madison County or outside your accepted service area.
