Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Victor and you get 5 places with about 3,300 people between them, not counting Victor itself. Within 60 miles it's 25 places and about 163,000 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.
| Distance from Victor | Other cities and towns | People in them |
|---|---|---|
| Within 10 miles | 1 | 2,403 |
| Within 30 miles | 5 | 3,315 |
| Within 60 miles | 25 | 163,241 |
| Within 100 miles | 46 | 267,722 |
Why Rexburg is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Victor and want to meet someone in Rexburg, 37 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Victor is 37 miles down that line, behind a city of about 40,000. 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.
Rexburg has about 16 times as many people as Victor, so a member from Victor is outnumbered there roughly 16 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 23 other incorporated places closer to Rexburg than Victor is, with about 123,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Rexburg's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Idaho as your region and Rexburg 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.
