1. Start with the Pelham service area, not a population forecast
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 12,949, with a margin of error of 40. For Automation, the useful question is narrower: which inquiries from Pelham and the rest of your actual service area should enter the same operating path, and which require different treatment?
Recommended approach
Bring your real service-area boundaries and intake categories to the consultation. Review whether Pelham inquiries should follow the same routing rules as inquiries from elsewhere in Westchester County or New York.
