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

5.7k · May 11, 2004

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?

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...

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.

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

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!

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:

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!)
