1. Start with Natchez’s actual service area
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 14,192, with a margin of error of 30. A firm may serve people in Natchez, elsewhere in Adams County, or a wider Mississippi area; those are different decisions.
Recommended approach
Before a consultation, write down the geographic scope your intake team is expected to handle. Separate Natchez inquiries from Adams County inquiries and from matters elsewhere in Mississippi. Then ask whether your current call notes, routing rules, and follow-up ownership preserve that distinction.
