Use Mandeville as a service-area boundary, not a demand forecast
The Census records Mandeville as a municipality in St. Tammany Parish, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 12,946 and a margin of error of 35. Those facts can help you describe the geography your firm serves. They cannot establish how many people will call, which practice areas they need, how many callers qualify, or whether you need more intake staff. Intake Coach is therefore best evaluated against your firm’s actual conversations rather than a population-based forecast. Review whether calls connected to Mandeville and St. Tammany Parish are being identified consistently, whether the intake specialist gathers the facts your attorneys need, and whether each viable matter has a clear owner and next action.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels and jurisdiction questions your team uses during intake. Then review scored conversations to see whether those details are asked, captured and handed off consistently. Treat the local population record as planning context only.
