Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Hansen and you get 17 places with about 109,000 people between them, not counting Hansen itself. Within 60 miles it's 29 places and about 124,000 people. Those totals count incorporated places only, so people outside city limits would add to them, but the point stands: an app that starts with whoever lives closest builds your options from a small circle, so you keep seeing the same few profiles.

Why Twin Falls is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Hansen and want to meet someone in Twin Falls, 8 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Hansen is 8 miles down that line, behind a city of about 56,000. Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you, and any app that sorts by distance works the same way. You haven't done anything wrong. You live in the wrong place for the ranking.
Twin Falls has about 51 times as many people as Hansen, so a member from Hansen is outnumbered there roughly 51 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 2 other incorporated places closer to Twin Falls than Hansen is, with about 8,800 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Twin Falls's deck.
