1. Start with the Las Cruces service area, not a generic form
Las Cruces is a municipality in Doña Ana County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the city is 114,197, with a margin of error of 57. That is geographic context and potential eligibility evidence only; it does not establish demand, legal need, search volume or expected inquiries. Your first Video Intake decision is therefore operational: should the same website flow serve matters connected to Las Cruces, or should it distinguish Las Cruces from other places your firm serves in Doña Ana County and elsewhere in New Mexico?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic questions your staff actually use when reviewing an inquiry. If location affects eligibility, include it in the guided path and decide who owns an answer that falls outside your service area. Do not use the population figure as a forecast. Measure completed intakes by stated location after the flow is in use.
