Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Dundee and you get 48 places with about 1,610,000 people between them, not counting Dundee itself. Within 60 miles it's 102 places and about 2,337,000 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 Dundee | Other cities and towns | People in them |
|---|---|---|
| Within 10 miles | 8 | 59,731 |
| Within 30 miles | 48 | 1,610,354 |
| Within 60 miles | 102 | 2,337,336 |
| Within 100 miles | 150 | 2,784,234 |
Why Newberg 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. Newberg (about 27,000 people, 3 miles from Dundee) 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 Dundee ends up behind every closer profile in the deck of everyone in Newberg, so the matches that should be easiest to reach are the ones the app makes hardest.
Newberg has about 8 times as many people as Dundee, so a member from Dundee is outnumbered there roughly 8 to 1 before the ranking even starts.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Newberg 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.
