Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Creswell and you get 12 places with about 275,000 people between them, not counting Creswell itself. Within 60 miles it's 35 places and about 498,000 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 Springfield 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. Springfield (about 61,000 people, 9 miles from Creswell) 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 Creswell ends up behind every closer profile in the deck of everyone in Springfield, so the matches that should be easiest to reach are the ones the app makes hardest.
Springfield has about 11 times as many people as Creswell, so a member from Creswell is outnumbered there roughly 11 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 2 other incorporated places closer to Springfield than Creswell is, with about 180,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Springfield's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Springfield 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.
