1. Start with Exeter’s actual service boundary
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 9,964, with a margin of error of 700.
Recommended approach
Write the service boundary into the intake plan before selecting questions or routing rules. Review whether location should be an early screening question, a later qualification question, or a matter for staff review. Keep Exeter, Rockingham County and New Hampshire as separate choices where that distinction affects eligibility or ownership.
