1. Start with Highland’s actual service footprint
Highland is a municipality in Lake County, Indiana. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Highland is 23,680, with a margin of error of 35. It does, however, give your firm a defined local boundary for reviewing where inquiries originate and which geography your intake process should record.
Recommended approach
During a consultation, separate Highland inquiries from other Lake County, Indiana and metropolitan-area inquiries in your existing records. Decide whether routing should depend on practice area, location, urgency, source or another firm-approved rule. The objective is not to automate an assumed demand pattern; it is to make the path from each actual inquiry understandable.
