+JohnnyVegas Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Five months after I first posted this thread, I just did a quick check again,and I believe the heaviest Cache Density for a 100 mile radius is still, Stockton, California !! If you can find a heavier cache density for a 100 mile radius, please post it here. 100 mile radius from area code 92880 - 3945! The winner is: Corona, CA. If I hide 490 tommorow San Rafeal will beet corona by 1 Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'll jump in with Dallas' numbers from my 75201 (downtown) zip code: 100 miles: 1996 50 miles: 1568 25 miles: 1043 10: 173 5: 73 Really drops off there at the end, huh? Most of the area's large parks, and therefore caches, are in the suburbs 10+ miles away. Quote Link to comment
+TeamThompson Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 From 94080 (South San Francisco, CA): 100 miles = 3475 50 miles = 1914 10 miles = 139 5 miles = 36 From 95125 (San Jose, eBay Headquarters...) 100 miles = 3437 50 miles = 1902 10 miles = 378 5 miles = 153 Looks like it's time we got hunting again!

+mcweb Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Wow! I wish more people cached in my area. I checked the stats on my zip code (76310-Wichita Falls, TX) and they are: 5 mile radius: 3 10 mile radius: 13 50 mile radius: 25 100 mile radius: 322 I only have 3 that I haven't found in the 50 mile radius. Yesterday I drove 70.5 (as the crow flies) to find 3 caches. I probably would have found more, but my husband wanted to head for home . I live about 2 hours from Dallas/Ft. Worth, so I could take a longer trip and have more caches than I could ever find. McWeb Quote Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 After this came up again I rechecked the figures. For caches within 100 miles. Stockton, CA: 4358 And the winner is: Corona, CA 4402 Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 It is not the quantity we should count, it should be the quality of the caches that should count! Quote Link to comment
janx Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 My home town of 55760: 100 miles = 17 caches (wow, that many!) Nearest cache = 7.9 miles Though I'd have to find fault with the mapping and query. It's not the center as for where the post office is that services it (nor the town that it represents). Heck, the map doesn't even show the intersection of the 2 main highways in the Map This! view. After I re-centered it and zoomed out, you can start to see some caches... http://www.geocaching.com/map/getmap.aspx?...44&lon=-93.3162 Quote Link to comment
+Rhett & Scarlett Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 The highest I've seen so far is 4046 from 94605 Oakland. About 40% of this area is ocean. From my home in san jose, there's 3599. Just a sidenote, 94605 Oakland will include Stockton too. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 (edited) Hi, Lake Clear, NY (12945), has 4 caches within 5 miles...2 of them placed by me. nfa Edited May 11, 2004 by NFA Quote Link to comment
MaverickMike and The Cricket Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I have seen alot of comments on these forums about Vermonts lack of caches. However, when I checked the 5 mile radius for Williston(05495), Vermont it came up with 29. Better than some numbers I have seen here. I am new to geocaching and plan on recruiting more people so the numbers here should continue to grow. At least if I can help it. Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Within 100 miles of 94568 (Dublin, CA) 4094 caches. This includes SF, SJ, Oakland, Stockton, Sacramento, Modesto, and part of the Monterrey area. Quote Link to comment

Just a sidenote, 94605 Oakland will include Stockton too. Corona is only 20 miles inland, so a large part of that 100 miles is also ocean. BTW that is zip 92880 Edited May 11, 2004 by Blind Avocado Quote Link to comment
+Road Rabbit Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 From my house (ZIP 32952) there are 1239 within a 100 mile radius. Given that I live on the East coast of Florida, half of that circle is the Atlantic Ocean (not known as a cache rich environment). Quote Link to comment
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 From the Team Madog compound,(near zip 73017) there is 1 cache at 4.6mi (<5mi), 6 total at 10 miles, 18 total at 20 miles (I still have two of them to find), 42 caches at 30 miles, and 315 at 50 miles. Since I normally drive 37 miles each way to work, driving 50 miles for a good cache hunt is no big deal, even in these days of $1.85 gas Quote Link to comment
