- pseudalopex 3y agoYour statistics are for age 26.[1] And 100 miles is not halfway across the country but not nearby. [1] https://www2.census.gov/ces/wp/2022/CES-WP-22-27.pdf https://www2.census.gov/ces/wp/2022/CES-WP-22-27.pdf
- doubled112 3y agoI'm in Canada and 750 km from my family and friends I grew up with. Same province. Ontario is vast. 160km sounds pretty close. Near by, even. I can make that drive happen at a much higher frequency than a 750 km drive.
- pseudalopex 3y ago160 km is radius not diameter. But even 160 km is 4 hours roughly for a round trip. Maybe you would drive it every week for a very close friend. Or several friends in a 16 km radius 160 km away from you. But probably you would move closer if they were at the center of your life.
