Zipcode Cache Density @ 4 Miles - What's Yours?

[+Marky]

To get a better feel for cache density of small areas, I thought a 4 mile radius would be a better standard. This represents an area of approximately 50 square miles. Doubling the result and dividing by 100 and you get the average number of caches per square mile. For my zipcode:

 

95118 @ 4 miles = 113

 

Caches per square mile = 2.26

 

How dense are you?

Not nearly as dense as you, Marky.

[+Team GPSaxophone]

(14*2)/100=0.28 caches per sq. miles

 

I take great consolation that I'm only as dense as CurmudgeonlyGal

2. Caches per square mile = ummm....uhh...wait...I know this...er...you carry the 2...no.....is it Pi r square.....

 

Dang...I'm denser than I thought.

3. As dense as a BC Pine!

[uperdooper]

[+briansnat]

Within 4 miles of 07405 (Kinnelon NJ) are 24 caches (15 are mine). Hey, thanks for making me check, I just noticed a new one 3 miles from home.

[+CYBret]

Dang...I'm denser than I thought.

Excuse me...I mean "more denser."

 

Sheesh!

[+Mopar]

06614 @ 4 miles = 21 caches

caches per mile² = 0.42

 

Which makes me slightly denser then CurmudgeonlyGal or Smurfyboy, but not as dense as BrianSnat. Gee, thanks Marky.

I have yet to see anyone as dense as me, but that was probably to be expected. Then again, VenturaKids hasn't posted to this thread yet...

Not very dense but denser than CYBret

[+TheAlabamaRambler]

35210 @ 4 Miles = 11 caches = .22

 

35210 @ 100 Miles (my normal search range) = 614 = 12.8

 

Caches found = 350something - I need to get busy!

 

Me Dense? Duh!

[+Sagefox]

95437: 4 miles = 15 caches = .3 per sq mile

 

Subtract caches I've placed: 4 miles = 2 caches = .04 per mile

 

Here is our rural 100 mile radius:

 

200 caches (38 ours) density .0064 per sq mile

[+welch]

52332 @ 4mi = 3 (mine)

(3*2)/100 = 0.06 cache/sq.mile

 

what was the question?

[+JoGPS]

We have two areas in Nashville ( Cacheville ) in a four mile radius

 

37115 - 116 caches

37212 - 124 caches

 

And they do not over lap each other, come on and have some fun at:

I live halfway between Rolling Fork and Grace, MS. Rolling Fork is the county seat and the PO I use is there so I used 39159.

 

If I use Grace, which is possibly closer to my home, i get this:

 

38745 @ 8.9 miles = 0

 

Density = 0 per square mile.

 

I'm sure I can pick some more zipcodes in the MS Delta to find a larger range from the center of a zipcode but I figured this one was "fair" enuff since I'm between 2 zipcode centers.

That sucks.

I had heard that they were dense over in Nashville, but I had no idea... Sounds like a good place to go for a caching vacation.

[+Ish-n-Isha]

98848=1 and its ours.

Are we seeing a correlation between people with losts of finds and caches yet???

[+SixDogTeam]

From my home coordinates in 46713 = 4 caches =

.08 caches/mile and all 4 are mine.... for around here, I think a twenty or twenty five mile radius might make more sense...

What - Marky - you can't walk in the woods without stumbling on one? Is the challenge to figure out WHICH cache you've found?

[+workerofwood]

95124=123, 2.46 per square mile...

Pretty dense... but then they are all Marky's caches!

[+Butano]

My zip is 95136, and I overlap some of Marky's area. But he still has me beat. 1.84 caches/sq. mile (and one of their newer ones is almost in my backyard!)

Here's what 95118 (and surrounding zipcodes) looks like:

 

 

--Marky

[+BuckyD]

94122 -- I count 58 caches within 4 miles, only 1 is mine.

Cache density per square mile = 1.16

 

 

But if you expand your search area to 5 miles in this area, which includes the more touristy and urban areas of San Francisco, it makes a world of difference!!

 

 

Either way, its nowhere near the density just 45 minutes down the peninsula!

[+Wadcutter]

4 mi radius = 1 cache

10 mi radius - 7 caches

[Moun10Bike]

My home zip code is okay, but no record holder:

 

98074 @ 4 miles = 48 caches

caches per mile² = 0.96

 

However, check out the densest zip code (cache-wise) in Washington State, which is where I work (98052 - Redmond, WA):

 

98052 @ 4 miles = 139 caches

caches per mile² = 2.78

 

We've had a handful of cachers go over-the-top hiding micros in the last few months and it shows. Here's a map of the zip code showing current caches and the 0.1-mile buffer around each:

 

[+Nazgul]

Here's what 95118 (and surrounding zipcodes) looks like...

I have to disagree with you there, I live in 95118 and I can say for certain that not all of the caches here have red checks on them!!! And look at all those checkboxes with no cache symbols under them, I only see a couple of those...

 

Now where I work in 95141 is another story, only 22 active caches within 4 miles there and I've actually done nearly all of them. All I'd have to do is get the last three in Calero (aka "no bikes allowed park", aka "National Tick Convention Center") and learn how to be a chess master for kablooey's mystery cache and I'm set. (Doh!)
