Cache Density

January 4, 2005

I'm just curious as to how close caches are in any given community.

It seems we average about one mile between caches.

1.4k · January 4, 2005

I have 20 within 12 miles. One of them is mine, I've logged 7 of the rest. I live in a small farm town so we are kinda lean on caches.

2.4k · January 4, 2005

There are 140 within 12 miles of our house. We've probably found fewer than half of them.

3.9k · January 4, 2005

About 150 caches in 10 miles. 38 are mine. 4 I have yet to find.

January 4, 2005

There are 400 within a 12.5 mile radius of my house. Suffice it to say, I think I'll always have new caches to find.

117 Within 12 miles.

Talk about cache-density! Down here in Arizona, the town of Tortilla Flat has ONE CACHE for every 6 residents in the town...that would mean the city of Phoenix, Arizona with its 1,321,000 residents (2000 census) would need over 220,000 caches to be as cache-dense as that town!

WOW!!!

I really, REALLY envy you!!!!!

I would assume you live in a very highly populated area.

January 4, 2005

350 within about 29 miles. Indianapolis and nearby in general.

555 within 25 miles of 85226 (Chandler, Arizona).

January 4, 2005

about 800 in 40 mile radius...whod'a thunk it??!!

January 4, 2005

512 within 12 miles. But this is Nashville, so they're all lame.

January 4, 2005

About 550 caches within 31.6 miles. I still need to find two of those.

I don't live in Nashville, so there is little lamity.

Well, what are you waiting for? Get to work!

January 4, 2005

500 within 13.2 miles Louisville, KY area.

Should keep me busy for a little while!

January 4, 2005

36 caches in a 13 miles radius of my home. Wish that was a little higher. Four of those are mine.

Heh....yeah, I live in a suburb of San Diego.

January 4, 2005

We have 235 caches within 25 miles of our home. We have found 621. I didn't realise how often we go beyond 25 miles to go caching.

I had to check, since I just moved to Colorado Springs recently. There are 1156 caches within 100 miles of my home coords. Of course, that includes Denver, so to be more realistic with the number in my "local" area, I'll run the search at 50 miles (since Denver is just over 50 miles away)

There are 563 caches within 50 miles of my zipcode, 80920 and even 280 within 20 miles.

5 Miles

35 caches;

5 are mine

19 I have found

1 I will never log because I helped place it.

1 Puzzle cache that will take most of next summer to complete.

2 I'll find when the snow melts.

A bunch more I will never hunt unless I'm real bored because they are lightpole micros.

January 4, 2005

thanks for posting this. There are 16 within 10 miles, one is new as of tonite. Perhaps tomorrow I will go find and and get a FTF. LOL, unlikely I am sure someone is gearing up as I type this

January 4, 2005

I just checked and within 10 miles of my home coordinates there are 240 caches. I've found probably around 60 of those. I have plenty more to find, and more are contantly appearing. I'm lucky that I live in an area that has so many caches.

January 4, 2005

There's a whole 66 within 100 miles of my home location, or about 6 within 12 miles. Gotta love caching in country south australia....

January 4, 2005

30 caches within 12 miles

4 are mine

I have not found 3

45 caches within 25 miles

1) 28 within 20 miles (7 are mine)

2) 41 within 50 miles

3) 56 within 100 miles

4) 476 spread out over the entire 571,000 square miles of Alaska which equals one cache every 1200 square miles. To put that in perspective, Rhode Island has a land area of 1054 square miles.

So much land...so few caches...but I'm working on it.

Las Vegas:

500 in 35 miles radius

950 in 100 miles.

Not many lame ones, but they are sinful.

January 4, 2005

For me (in California) there are 99 caches within a 12 mile radius. I'm sure there are folks out there with denser cache population.

January 4, 2005

327 within 30 miles of Grants Pass. 19 are mine and 91 I have not found (I need to get busy)

Of the not found caches some are questionable as to if they are still there, and others are pretty remote.

January 4, 2005

SF bay area (94568)

88 caches within 5 miles

319 caches within 10 miles

902 caches within 20 miles

3305 caches within 50 miles

5425 caches within 100 miles.

Just 40 caches within 30 miles - of which 12 are mine.

There are exactly two other "active" geocachers in the same French administrative region as me (that's out of a population of 1.2 million people). One has three finds, the other has two.

I'm a poor lonesome cacher, in other words

January 4, 2005

Active caches only..

14.8mi = 200 caches.

of which 12 are not yet found by us.

January 4, 2005

Withen 100 miles there are 2929 caches. There are 109 caches withen 10 miles of me.

Not enough.... though there's not enough time to do the ones that are there

January 4, 2005

I'm just curious as to how close caches are in any given community.

That's sickening...

There are about 840 caches within a 30-mile radius of downtown Louisville, KY.

(aaah the Louisville park system )

January 4, 2005

As of 1/3/2005 232 within 20 miles of 19456.

No wonder my count is so low! 9 listed within 15 miles. 1 I adopted that is currently disabled because the park is still closed, 1 virtual that the proof is no longer available, 4 that require a boat and I'm sure no longer exist (most recent logged before the hurricane in Sept.), 1 known missing recommended for archive in Aug., 1 micro (not lame), 1 tupperware I did last summer. If I look out to 25 miles there are 9 more that still exist - been there-done that.

A 25 mile radius is about 2000 square miles. That means 1 active cache for every 181 square miles. If I want to cache now I have to drive about 50 miles one way. Bring back locationless.

Loveland the land of Lovely Virtuals, so this data wouldn't count for some.

Within 1.8 mi. there are 20 caches. And 16 are mine.

Within 10.5 mi. there are 40 caches. And 18 are mine.

If you head West to the land of Traditionals almost all of them are mine, but that is the back country, not the land of drive and baggers.

1800+ within 100 miles.

New thread, same old topic, same old answers:

(I'll list several radii since no standard distance was picked)

39159

3 caches within 10 miles. (I own 2 of these)

5 caches within 12 miles. (I own 3 of these)

14 caches within 25 miles. (I own 7 of these)

66 caches within 50 miles.

295 caches within 100 miles.

My 3 nearest unfound caches are 36 miles (Actually closer to 130 if you count driving to the nearest bridge over the MS river and then driving up, or down, to it), 37 (I have several DNF's on this one), and 40 (more like 70 if you count what you have to drive to get there) miles away.

5 more finds and I'll have a 50 mile radius cleared out.

January 4, 2005

um....2 within 1 1/2 miles , one is mine. Within a 15 mile radius, there are 3, of which 2 are mine I'm working on branching some more caches out there. I'm really trying to get the interest in this area up a bit.

512 within 12 miles. But this is Nashville, so they're all lame.

I must be in a better area than you... 521 in 12 miles. Lake and all...

And that doesn't count my new series I'm putting out. (so add 13 to that).

Oh wait... All of these are lame too! :lol:

edited to add: there are exactly 10 (not counting my new ones) within 1 mile.

Edited January 4, 2005 by fly46

January 4, 2005

38 within ten miles.

I own 28 of them, my wife owns three, one of our best friends owns three, and another close friend owns two. So there are two that are not here because of us or our group.

My nearest unfound cache is 32 miles away and is a meeting that has not happened yet, next nearest is 35 miles as the crow flies, several more as the monkey drives.
