1. Start with McComb and Pike County as a service area—not a demand forecast
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for McComb is 12,049, with a margin of error of 23. That is useful geographic context when you define the area your firm serves. It does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, inquiry volume, case volume, or revenue.
Recommended approach
In a consultation, define whether your reporting should distinguish McComb from Pike County or combine them for operational purposes. Then decide which geographic labels your staff uses when reviewing intake and case outcomes. Ask whether your records can show where qualified inquiries originate and which service-area decisions deserve review.
