1. Start with Canby’s actual service area
Canby is recorded as a municipality in Clackamas County, Oregon. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate records 18,134 residents, with a margin of error of 47. It does, however, give your firm a concrete geographic starting point for deciding whether the intake should speak primarily to Canby visitors, to people elsewhere in Clackamas County, or to a broader Oregon service area.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic questions before writing the intake. Decide which locations your firm serves, which locations require a review, and whether a visitor outside the service area should receive a different response. Keep Canby, Clackamas County and Oregon as separate choices where that distinction affects eligibility or routing.
