Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Adair Village and you get 24 places with about 441,000 people between them, not counting Adair Village itself. Within 60 miles it's 82 places and about 1,315,000 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.

Why Albany 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. Albany (about 57,000 people, 7 miles from Adair Village) 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 Adair Village ends up behind every closer profile in the deck of everyone in Albany, so the matches that should be easiest to reach are the ones the app makes hardest.
Albany has about 56 times as many people as Adair Village, so a member from Adair Village is outnumbered there roughly 56 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 2 other incorporated places closer to Albany than Adair Village is, with about 4,800 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Albany's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Albany is in your pool with everyone else in Oregon, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
