Start with Mount Holly coverage, not population assumptions
Mount Holly city is recorded in the 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year data with a population estimate of 18,208 and a margin of error of 41. The city’s recorded county relationship is Gaston County. That is geographic context, not proof of legal demand, call volume, competition or staffing pressure. Your firm should therefore evaluate its own unanswered-call records and service area rather than use the population figure to predict intake. Bosseo’s public AI Answering page describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow, with the firm’s team receiving calls first and the AI stepping in when nobody answers within 20 seconds.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic scope of your phone process explicitly: Mount Holly, Gaston County and any other places your firm actually serves. Then review whether unanswered calls occur during office hours, after hours, on weekends or during simultaneous-call periods. Use those observations to decide whether you need overflow protection, after-hours coverage or both.
