1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 10,492, with a margin of error of 27. That is context for defining a service area; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, inquiries or cases.
Recommended approach
Before evaluating reports, list the geographic labels that matter to your practice: Versailles, Woodford County and any additional areas your firm intentionally serves. Decide which location information your intake team already records and which geographic distinctions would help you evaluate ownership, eligibility or follow-up. Keep those decisions separate from assumptions about how many people will contact you.
