Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Normandy Park and you get 64 places with about 2,835,000 people between them, not counting Normandy Park itself. Within 60 miles it's 97 places and about 3,412,000 people. Those totals count incorporated places only, so people outside city limits would add to them, but the point stands: dating apps that sort by distance start with that circle, which is why small-town members see the same faces so often.
| Distance from Normandy Park | Other cities and towns | People in them |
|---|---|---|
| Within 10 miles | 7 | 481,047 |
| Within 30 miles | 64 | 2,835,306 |

Why SeaTac is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Normandy Park and want to meet someone in SeaTac, 2 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Normandy Park is 2 miles down that line, behind a city of about 35,000. 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.
SeaTac has about 5 times as many people as Normandy Park, so a member from Normandy Park is outnumbered there roughly 5 to 1 before the ranking even starts.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Washington as your region and SeaTac is in your pool with everyone else in Washington, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
