1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records North Myrtle Beach as a municipality in Horry County, South Carolina. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 19,855, with a margin of error of 27. That is context for deciding how a local website experience should identify a visitor’s location; it is not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or staffing requirements. Your intake should therefore ask for the location information that matters to your eligibility rules rather than treating residence in North Myrtle Beach as proof that a matter fits.
Recommended approach
Review whether the flow should distinguish North Myrtle Beach from other places in Horry County and from matters your firm does not serve. Decide which location question belongs early in the path, which answer should trigger a handoff, and which answers require human review. Keep geographic eligibility separate from case type and urgency.
