I was struck by an MG on the corner of Balboa and Genesee when I was four.

I get an eery feeling to this day when I drive through that part of SD.

[Guest glenn95630]

For me it is 481 caches (zip code 95630). That is from Folsom, a suburb that is east of Sacramento.

 

I messed around with this for a little while and think I may have found the 'winner'. There are 546 caches within 100 miles of zip code 95206. That is located in Stockton, California (about 60 miles south of Sacramento). That 100 miles circle includes the Bay area, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Napa Valley, Bodega Bay, Sacramento, and the Sacramento suburbs (Rocklin, Roseville). It also includes Yosemite, not that anyone would hide a cache there.

 

As a sidenote, there are 60 caches within 10 miles of my zip code.

I guess it's all that ocean that lowers my count.

Only 446 down in the South Bay. I think it's Sonoma county that's lowering your count. There are only like three caches between San Rafael and Santa Rosa. But, you probably get a bunch in Sacramento.

[Guest kernbob]

12553 (Vails Gate, NY) has 459 and (NYC) 10002 has 444.

[Guest dan_edwards_1966]

I live in Fort Collins, but I happen to know a zip for Colorado Springs of the top of my head.

 

80911 comes up with 88 Caches within 100 miles.

 

Mine, 80525, comes up with 92

 

I pulled the first one from the USPS web site for Denver, 80002, and it comes up with 128.

[Guest kam]

I must have too much time on my hands today. I checked on my zipcode and came up with 84.

Since the post office is 10 miles NW of me I checked 3 other zips that are closer. came up with 74, 70 and 78. after that I checked the furthest ones from me and came up with 73 from my own home. with that many maybe I need to spend more time hunting them instead of sitting here at the computer.

[Guest geospotter]

310 from western Massachusetts.

[Guest Markwell]

141 from my zip code - 60544, 35 miles SW of Chicago

 

139 from my home's coordiantes

Hey, I thought there would be more....Oh well, I know what to do about that!!!! I need to place more caches I see that there are only 21 for me, I placed one of those, one is archived, three are only accessible by horseback (wilderness area - not sure if that is even within the spirit of the game), and six are in another country

Thanks, Adrafter, that adds another interesting twist to my orginal question. Of the 62 in my area, I've found or hidden 44, which gives me a 70.9%

[Guest Silly Dilly Duo]

We Have 83 Within 100 miles of the Bloomington/Normal area.

[Guest Cacher Jane8276]

I have 437 caches within 100 miles

and

I have 60 caches within 10 miles

 

I also live only about 10 miles from the coast.

[Guest blscearce]

As of today, there are 519 zip codes that have more than 500 caches in them. Head of the list:

 

563 95366

560 95330

557 95368

556 95231

555 95336

554 95207

554 95206

553 95759

553 95356

553 95215

552 95203

551 95219

551 95209

551 95202

551 94531

550 95686

550 95205

 

I think those are all in California. You have to get down to about 500th place before you find a zip code without a leading 9: 08801, 08827 and 08829 have 503 caches.

[Guest glenn95630]

Very cool blscearce. Thanks for getting the data. Here is some location info:

 

95366 is Ripon, Califoria located 60 miles south of Sacramento and 60 miles east of Oakland.

 

All the 95xxx and the 94xxx zip codes listed are Northern California. I assume they are zip codes that are in the Stockton, Lodi, Ripon, Modesto area and can cover both Sacramento and the Bay Area.

 

The 08801 zip code is in the middle of New Jersey and appears to cover both New York City and Philadelphia.

Sorry wizonkiz that should have said ...of those who have HIDDEN .... The stats are for caches hidden not hidden and found (I told you I was only human)

I know I could plug in everybody?s zip-code to get my own answers, but how many caches do YOU have within 100 miles of your zip-code. I see some of you are approaching the 400 found mark and I was curious about the density of caches in your areas. I have 62 with in 100 miles of 99003. Thanks???.WIZONKIZ
