1. Map the Pavilion service area before you automate the handoff
Pavilion township is recorded in Kalamazoo County, Michigan. That relationship matters when you decide which forms, routing rules and service-area questions belong in your intake. A firm may serve Pavilion while also serving other communities, but those geographic relationships should be stated by the firm rather than inferred from population data. The Pavilion population estimate is eligibility evidence only; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search behavior or staffing requirements. During review, identify whether Pavilion is one service area among several and whether the same intake path applies across them.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service-area wording to the consultation. Decide which geographic information is necessary for an initial review, which questions belong later in qualification and whether a Pavilion inquiry should follow the same owner and escalation path as inquiries from elsewhere in Kalamazoo County.
