Does this factor in city dwellers? A lot of cities, you’ve got people that can’t just up and move to the next town over like we can out here in the boonies. You move from some parts of NYC 18 miles away and still be in the same city, but still effectively be like moving to another town.
I’d be interested to see what would happen to the numbers if you split out cities at given population levels.
So, if you take new York State as an example. If the average for the state is 18 miles (I can’t see the post when replying to a comment in this app, so that’s just using the same number as an example), do the cities skew that?
Like, if NYC and Albany have their own average of five miles, but people outside cities average 25 (or whatever it would be, I’m not doing math for this lol), that’s an interesting thing.

If you move 18 miles away from your mother and you’re still in the same city, you’re still 18 miles away from her…
That’s not the point.

That’s what I’m talking about.
Just follow the links in the article and check the study?
