1. Start with the Wayne service area, not a population assumption
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 17,310, with a margin of error of 24. For automation, the useful local question is narrower: which people and matters does your firm intend to serve, and how should an inquiry associated with that service area be handled?
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to define the geographic rules your intake team already applies. Decide whether Wayne is one service area among several, whether county-wide inquiries follow the same path, and whether any matter type needs a different owner or escalation rule.
