1. Start with the Tupelo service area you actually serve
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 37,791, with a margin of error of 32.
Recommended approach
List the locations your firm accepts matters from, then decide whether routing should distinguish Tupelo, Lee County and any other service areas. Confirm which geographic details belong in an intake record, which affect eligibility, and which should be reviewed by a person. Use the consultation to test whether location should trigger ownership, urgency, a follow-up path or no automation at all.
