Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Ammon and you get 14 places with about 147,000 people between them, not counting Ammon itself. Within 60 miles it's 36 places and about 243,000 people. Those totals count incorporated places only, so people outside city limits would add to them, but the point stands: that's the circle a distance-sorted app draws first, and it runs out fast.
| Distance from Ammon | Other cities and towns | People in them |
|---|---|---|
| Within 10 miles | 3 | 76,160 |
| Within 30 miles | 14 | 146,751 |
| Within 60 miles | 36 | 242,944 |
| Within 100 miles | 62 | 267,685 |
Why Idaho Falls is out of reach for you on the big apps
The city next to a small town is often the hardest place to date from it. Idaho Falls (about 72,000 people, 4 miles from Ammon) has plenty of singles, but a distance-ranked app lists them for each other first; Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. A member in Ammon ends up behind every closer profile in the deck of everyone in Idaho Falls, so the matches that should be easiest to reach are the ones the app makes hardest.
Idaho Falls has about 4 times as many people as Ammon, so a member from Ammon is outnumbered there roughly 4 to 1 before the ranking even starts.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Idaho as your region and Idaho Falls is in your pool with everyone else in Idaho, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
