Why small-town members lose out in Newberg on the big apps
The bigger the city, the longer the line. Newberg has about 27,000 people, and on an app that sorts by distance everyone there sees their own neighbors first. A member in Dundee (3 miles away) or Sherwood (7 miles away) is behind that whole line in the deck of anyone they'd like to meet in Newberg. Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you.
