Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Hubbard and you get 51 places with about 1,729,000 people between them, not counting Hubbard itself. Within 60 miles it's 99 places and about 2,323,000 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.

Why Woodburn is out of reach for you on the big apps
Dating in Hubbard is hard, and meeting someone in Woodburn can be harder. Many dating apps lean on distance to decide who you see, and Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. Woodburn is 4 miles away and has about 32,000 people, and a lot of the people there live closer to the person you'd like to meet than you do. When someone in Woodburn opens a distance-ranked app, their own neighbors come first, so you land behind them in their deck whatever your photos and profile say.
Woodburn has about 9 times as many people as Hubbard, so a member from Hubbard is outnumbered there roughly 9 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There is 1 other incorporated place closer to Woodburn than Hubbard is, with about 2,600 people between it, and it tends to come ahead of you in Woodburn's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Oregon as your region and Woodburn 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.
