1. Start with the Chalmette service area, not a generic funnel
The U.S. Census Bureau records Chalmette as a census-designated place in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 22,616, with a margin of error of 1,017. That figure describes the population estimate; it does not establish legal demand, case volume, search behavior, competition or revenue. For Video Intake, the useful geographic question is narrower: which visitors does your firm intend to serve, and should the intake ask about service area before collecting detailed matter information?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic rule your team actually uses. You may want the flow to identify whether a visitor is seeking help in Chalmette, elsewhere in St. Bernard Parish, another Louisiana location, or outside the firm’s service area. Review that choice with counsel and intake staff before implementation. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast of completed intakes.
