I don't have a lot of faith in this data set. The Books Around America site lists the Blue Ridge Mountains as being in Arizona, which is 1500 miles away from their actual location in NC/VA.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoWell, that's hilariously less accurate than the case I tried. I tried the zip code for a suburb in Salt Lake County, UT that's ~12 miles away from city center Salt Lake City. At least I got a bunch of books set in SLC. Then there's a bunch of other places that aren't in the "Choose Location" list at all despite being similar or larger in population compared to places that are in the list. E.g., Visalia, CA[0] is not listed but Provo, UT[1] is. [0] https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/visalia-ca-population https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/visalia-ca-popul...
