Start with the Hopatcong service area, not a population assumption
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 14,565, with a margin of error of 49. For automation, the local fact changes the review in a practical way: define whether your intake rules cover Hopatcong alone, Sussex County more broadly, or another service area your firm actually serves. Then test whether location is captured consistently enough for ownership, qualification and reporting.
Recommended approach
Bring your firm’s intended service geography to the consultation. Decide which location details should be collected, which should affect routing, and which should remain informational rather than becoming an automatic qualification rule.
