1. Start with the geography you actually serve
Cottage Grove is a municipality in Lane County, Oregon. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 10,698 residents, with a margin of error of 26. A local intake design should therefore begin with your own service rules: which matters you accept in Cottage Grove, which you accept elsewhere in Lane County, and which inquiries require a different response. Video Intake can be considered as the website path for collecting those distinctions through a guided survey built around your practice areas.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to map your geographic eligibility rules before choosing questions. Decide whether location is an early screening question, a later routing question, or a matter for staff review.
