Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Quincy and you get 8 places with about 93,000 people between them, not counting Quincy itself. Within 60 miles it's 36 places and about 274,000 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 Quincy | Other cities and towns | People in them |
|---|---|---|
| Within 10 miles | 0 | 0 |
| Within 30 miles | 8 | 92,754 |

Why Wenatchee is out of reach for you on the big apps
Say you live in Quincy and want to meet someone in Wenatchee, 26 miles away. On a distance-ranked app, that person is shown their own neighborhood first, then the next one out, and Quincy is 26 miles down that line, behind a city of about 36,000. 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.
Wenatchee has about 4 times as many people as Quincy, so a member from Quincy is outnumbered there roughly 4 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 6 other incorporated places closer to Wenatchee than Quincy is, with about 26,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Wenatchee's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Washington as your region and Wenatchee 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.
