7.8 million, mostly to the south (Connecticut) and east (much of the Boston metro). Albany gets in, too.

Too bad the map doesn't do addresses outside the US.

Only about 88K in Moore co.

How many people live due east of New York? A hundred miles really is a long way in our way of thinking, and this is a very crowded part of the world. I doubt there's any official figure available anywhere for a 100-mile radius but going by the data in the website below I reckon everywhere in London (7.7 million), South East (8.4 million), East (5.7 million) is within 100 miles of where I live, plus a few places classified as West Midlands and even a few parts of northern France.

I said 75 miles, not 100. England has 51.5 million people, so 25 million would be half of England's population. Since London is much larger than other English cities, this might be reasonable.

Due east? Outside the city limits, maybe 3.1 million. I used to be one of them. Being a bit pedantic, you probably meant southeast not due east.

Yep, I wrote east at first, remembered Long Island was somewhere in that quadrant (I thought more NE, but looking at the map now, clearly not!) so changed it a little for the sake of being pedantic. New York perhaps has a little more ocean within a 75 or 100-mile radius than London, in which case it would need a higher population density to have the same total population. Either way, it's a lot of people.

I suppose some think so. The grandma from, I bet, the NE Sandhills beats me. See below.

About 4,000. That includes the 'big town', 50 miles away, of 2400 people.

There's only 5000 people in my whole county - the largest (by land mass) in the state.

About 30,000 cows, though.

England is overall a rather densely populated place. 100 miles from London captures Southampton, Northampton, Norwich, Gloucester, Portsmouth, much of the Birmingham metro, much of the Bristol metro, and even Calais in France. And while it's true that "there are few directions that are relatively unpopulated" when you're talking about land, a 100-mile radius from NYC captures an awful lot of open water.

408 -- with nearly 1/2 located in one village east of us, and 1/4 located in the other village west of us both at the edges of our 100 mile radius.
