Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Coburg and you get 16 places with about 310,000 people between them, not counting Coburg itself. Within 60 miles it's 50 places and about 771,000 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 Coburg | Other cities and towns | People in them |

| Within 10 miles | 3 | 247,273 |
| Within 30 miles | 16 | 309,809 |
| Within 60 miles | 50 | 770,775 |

Why Eugene is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Coburg and want to meet someone in Eugene, 7 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Coburg is 7 miles down that line, behind a city of about 179,000. 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.
Eugene has about 130 times as many people as Coburg, so a member from Coburg is outnumbered there roughly 130 to 1 before the ranking even starts.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Eugene 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.
