## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 10 km of 49.7475, 13.3776 - Pilsen's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 168,733 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-13).
