1. Start with Bellevue’s actual service area, not a population assumption
Bellevue is recorded as a municipality in Campbell County, Kentucky. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 5,636, with a margin of error of 19. That is useful geographic context when defining the firm’s intake map, but it cannot tell you how many people will contact the firm, which matters they will raise, or whether staff capacity is sufficient. A Bellevue firm may serve people beyond the city, while a firm using a Bellevue address may receive inquiries from several places. Automation should therefore begin with the places and matter types the firm actually accepts, rather than a population-based forecast.
Recommended approach
Bring a clear service-area and matter-type list to the consultation. Review whether forms, calls, chats and video intake should follow the same path or require different routing. Keep Bellevue, Campbell County and any wider service area distinct in internal rules and reporting so a municipal population figure is not mistaken for demand evidence.
