Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Eagle Point and you get 11 places with about 187,000 people between them, not counting Eagle Point itself. Within 60 miles it's 20 places and about 249,000 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.

|---|---|---|

| Within 30 miles | 11 | 187,031 |

Why Medford is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Eagle Point and want to meet someone in Medford, 9 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Eagle Point is 9 miles down that line, behind a city of about 86,000. 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.
Medford has about 9 times as many people as Eagle Point, so a member from Eagle Point is outnumbered there roughly 9 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 4 other incorporated places closer to Medford than Eagle Point is, with about 33,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Medford's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Medford 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.
