1. Start with Starkville’s actual service area
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 25,721, with a margin of error of 27. Video Intake should therefore be designed around the people and matters your firm elects to serve, rather than around an assumed level of online activity. Those are different audiences and may require different eligibility questions.
Recommended approach
Write the service-area rule before writing the survey. Include a location question only if location changes eligibility, routing or follow-up. If your firm serves Starkville but not every matter arising in Oktibbeha County, make that boundary clear in the visitor experience and in the internal review rule.
