1. Start with the Old Forge service area, not a population forecast
Old Forge is recorded as a municipality in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Automation therefore should not be justified by an assumed volume of Old Forge inquiries. It should be evaluated against the geographic scope you actually serve and the way your firm accepts inquiries from that area. Ask whether an Old Forge contact is handled differently from an inquiry elsewhere in Lackawanna County, and whether that difference is intentional.
Recommended approach
Bring a clear service-area rule to the review. Decide whether Old Forge is one location within a broader Lackawanna County workflow or whether certain matter types require different routing. Keep that decision separate from any later measurement of inquiries, consultations or retained matters.
