Use Lovington and Lea County as a service boundary, not a demand forecast
The Census record identifies Lovington as a city in Lea County, New Mexico, and records 11,498 residents in the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimate. It does not establish legal demand, call volume, competition, case value or staffing requirements. For your firm, the geographic decision comes first: decide whether Intake Coach should be assessed against calls from Lovington alone, Lovington plus the rest of Lea County, or a broader service area. Keep those groups distinct when reviewing intake quality. A caller’s location can affect jurisdiction, deadlines and who should own the next step, but the population figure cannot answer those questions.
Recommended approach
Define the geography and case types you want to evaluate before booking a consultation. Bring a clear explanation of whether your firm serves Lovington only, Lea County more broadly, or additional New Mexico locations. Ask how those boundaries can be reflected in your review and reporting decisions.
