Start with Arnold’s actual service boundary
A firm serving Arnold may also work across Anne Arundel County and elsewhere in Maryland, but those are not interchangeable geographic definitions. The Census record identifies Arnold as a CDP and records its county relationship as Anne Arundel County. Population is useful context for describing the community, but it cannot tell you how many people call your firm, which practice areas they need, or whether your team needs additional coverage.
Recommended approach
Define the geography used in your intake review before changing the process. Separate Arnold callers from other Anne Arundel County callers when that distinction matters to your reporting, and identify whether the firm accepts matters from outside the county. Review actual call records rather than using population as a proxy for demand.
