Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Coquille and you get 6 places with about 34,000 people between them, not counting Coquille itself. Within 60 miles it's 22 places and about 101,000 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 Coquille | Other cities and towns | People in them |

| Within 10 miles | 1 | 2,462 |
| Within 30 miles | 6 | 33,976 |

Why Coos Bay is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Coquille and want to meet someone in Coos Bay, 14 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Coquille is 14 miles down that line, behind a city of about 16,000. 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.
Coos Bay has about 4 times as many people as Coquille, so a member from Coquille is outnumbered there roughly 4 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There is 1 other incorporated place closer to Coos Bay than Coquille is, with about 10,000 people between it, and it tends to come ahead of you in Coos Bay's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Coos Bay 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.
