Start with Savannah’s actual service boundary
Savannah is recorded as a municipality in Missouri, and the Census relationship identifies Andrew County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Savannah city is 5,053, with a margin of error of 20. That figure describes the city, not the county, a metropolitan area, the firm’s full service territory or the number of prospective clients. It should not be used to claim demand, competition, search volume, case volume or revenue. The intake decision should therefore begin with the geographic relationship the firm actually uses: Savannah alone, Andrew County, or a broader area that the firm confirms during consultation.
Recommended approach
Write the intake’s location questions around the firm’s real eligibility rules. Review whether location should be an early screening question, a routing field, or a topic for staff review. Keep Savannah city, Andrew County and any wider service area distinct in the firm’s internal reporting.
