1. Start with Woodstock’s actual service area
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,258, with a margin of error of 25. For Video Intake, the practical implication is narrower: define whether the website is intended for people in Woodstock, people elsewhere in Ulster County, or a broader New York service area. Those are different audiences and may require different qualification questions. A visitor’s location can affect whether your firm can review the matter, but location should not be treated as a proxy for case quality.
Recommended approach
Write the service-area rule before designing the intake path. Decide which locations should be accepted, referred for review, or declined; then make location an explicit question rather than an assumption. Review the rule with counsel and intake staff so the video flow reflects the firm’s actual authority and coverage.
